• 1/4 cup Lime juice
• 1/2 tsp Sugar
• 1/2 cup Dark Asian sesame oil|1 tsp Salt

Directions
- Make a slice in the calamari tubes lengthwise and spread open. Mix the red chili sauce, lime juice, sugar, sesame oil, salt and pepper together in a shallow dish.
- Place the tubes flat in the marinade, coating both sides, for 35 minutes. Preheat a grill, or ridged grill pan. Or, preheat the broiler until very hot.
- Using brochette sticks, interweave them into the tubes, alternatively piercing in, out, in, in order that the tubes lie flat on the grill.
- Use 2 brochette sticks to each tube. Place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and heat while you grill.
- Place the chives and sesame seeds in a bowl and set aside.
- Grill or broil the calamari for about 1 minute on each side. When ready to serve, place the grilled calamari on a serving platter. Pour the hot marinade over the calamari. Sprinkle with chives and sesame seeds.
