Recipe
Cooking tips
- Boiling the squid in water causes its delicious components to leach out, so it must be steamed using only its own moisture to preserve its deep, authentic flavor.
- Rubbing the suckers with sea salt ensures that trapped debris and sticky residues are thoroughly cleaned away.
- Simply applying 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar lightly to the surface just before steaming is enough to effectively eliminate fishy odors.
- Letting the squid rest for about 20 seconds after turning off the heat prevents the flesh from shrinking and maximizes its soft, chewy texture.
Recommended for
- Those who want to fully enjoy the chewy and tender texture of squid.
- People who felt disappointed by the bland taste of boiled squid sashimi.
- Anyone looking to make a light, satisfying beer snack with a simple cooking method.
