A secret recipe to revive frozen squid, restoring it to a fresh, tender and chewy texture just like freshly caught squid.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding a small amount of baking soda when blanching helps soften the proteins, preventing the squid from becoming tough and ensuring it stays extremely chewy yet tender.
  • Seafood loses moisture and becomes tough if overcooked, so it must be blanched quickly in boiling water for only about 30 seconds.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to cook frozen seafood without making it tough, achieving a fresh-like result.
  • People looking for a light appetizer with a tangy-sweet homemade sauce that has a rich, nutty taste.
