Cooking tips 💡

• Steaming cuttlefish instead of boiling or blanching prevents excess moisture and keeps the texture firm and chewy.
• Marinating the cucumber beforehand ensures the flavor is well-absorbed and maintains its crispness after cooking.
• Sautéing the vegetables first before adding cuttlefish prevents the cuttlefish from becoming tough.
