Recipe

Place 1 squid in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of flour and a little water, rub vigorously, then rinse under running water to remove any sticky suckers or debris.
After washing, wrap the squid in kitchen paper towel and pat dry completely to remove all moisture.
In a small bowl, mix 2 pinches of salt and 2 tablespoons of mirin until the salt dissolves completely, then evenly coat both sides of the squid and let marinate for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, gently wipe off any remaining moisture on the squid’s surface with kitchen paper towel.
Preheat a pan over medium-low heat, add 10g of butter and melt it, then place the squid body and tentacles onto the pan.
Once the squid begins to lightly brown, flip it over and place a flat rice bowl upside down on top to press it firmly. This prevents the squid from curling into a round shape.
Continue cooking over medium-low heat, ensuring the butter doesn’t burn, until both sides are golden and moist.
Turn off the stove, remove the bowl, then use scissors or a knife to make cuts along the edges of the squid to open it up neatly, making it easier to eat and more visually appealing.

Clean the squid with flour to remove slime and fishy odor, then pat dry with kitchen paper towel.
Mix salt and mirin, apply evenly to the squid, and marinate for 5 minutes.
Place the squid on a pan with melted butter over medium-low heat, press down with a bowl while grilling both sides until golden, then make cuts.

Cooking tips

Using flour when cleaning squid effectively removes its natural slime and fishy smell.
Butter burns easily at high temperatures, so always maintain medium-low heat throughout cooking to prevent burning and achieve even browning.
Pressing the squid with a heavy bowl or rice bowl while grilling keeps it flat and prevents curling, resulting in an even, attractive shape.
Make the cuts after grilling to help the squid retain its shape and cook evenly.
