Cooking tips
- Soaking baby squid in a flour-water solution effectively removes fishy odors and impurities due to flour’s natural adsorption properties.
- Frying the squid in a dry pan before simmering helps enhance its chewy, firm texture by removing surface moisture first.
- Cooking minced onions until they develop a golden hue brings out rich, natural sweetness that balances the savory depth of the stew, reducing saltiness naturally.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a unique dried seafood side dish with chewy texture and deep umami flavor using baby squid.
- People looking for a clever flour-washing trick to cleanly eliminate the fishy and pungent smell of dried seafood.
- Individuals wanting to use the subtle sweetness of sautéed onions to soften the typical saltiness of stews.
