Clean the squid by removing the ink sac, innards, and cartilage. Rinse well under cold water and slice into rings.
Dice the onion and tomato, mince the garlic, and slice the ginger into thin strips.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the ginger slices and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the squid to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until it slightly changes color. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the diced onion and garlic and cook until the onion turns translucent.
Add the diced tomato and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
Return the squid to the pan and add the bay leaves, vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, and water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the green chilies and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice.
