Clean the squid: Rinse the squid thoroughly and pat dry. Score the squid in a crosshatch pattern on the inside of the body, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create the 'pinecone' effect when grilled.
Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic.
Marinate the squid: Place the scored squid in a bowl and pour the marinade over it. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the squid: Remove the squid from the marinade and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. The scored pattern will curl up, creating the 'pinecone' effect.
Prepare the salad: While the squid is grilling, combine the mint, cilantro, and bean sprouts in a large bowl.
Assemble the salad: Once the squid is grilled, slice it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the herbs and bean sprouts. Toss gently to combine.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
