A moist and chewy whole squid steamed using only the squid's own moisture, maximizing its natural sweetness and umami flavor

Ingredients needed 2 servings

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.
