Steps:

• Stir Fry Sauce.
• Cut ginger into smaller pieces.
• Put ginger, garlic, rice wine, and soy sauce into blender, then blend into smooth paste (add just a bit of water if needed to aid in blending).
• Mix blended paste and all other sauce ingredients in a small bowl and let sit for fifteen minutes. Thin with water as needed to make a "pourable" paste.
• Squid.
• Clean the squid. (Your fish market should be able to clean the squid for you) Wash well in cold water.
• Slit the squid body from the triangle (where the "wings" and body meet) to the head cavity, open and flatten.
• Cut into 1/4 inch wide strips from the "head" to the "tail".
• Cut the strips into about 2 inch sections.
• Slit the tentacle ring, flatten, and cut each tentacle free from the others. Cut tentacles into about 2 inch sections.

• Trim top and bottom of green onions, wash in cold water, then cut into about 2 inch lengths.
• Optional Vegetables (Use any or all).
• Cut onion in half from to bottom. Slice 1/2 the onion, from top to bottom, into about 1/4 inch wide slices.
• Remove and discard outer cabbage leaves, then cut in half from top to bottom. Cut one section in half again, from top to bottom. Slice into about 1/2 inch wide slices.
