In a bowl, mix together juice, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger,
chiles, mint and basil. Add the calamari and marinate for only 30
seconds. Take the calamari out of the marinade and add to a very hot
skillet, lightly oiled. Toss calamari quickly around and cook only 2
to 3 minutes until done. Cook in two batches. Remove calamari and
place on top of the arugula. In the same hot skillet, add the
tomatoes and 1/3 cup of the marinade. Bring to a boil then add to
salad and mix well. Check for seasoning and serve. For Plating:
Serve in the large salad bowl with small side plates. Garnish with
croutons. This recipe yields 4 servings.
