Recipe

Mix together 2 tablespoons brewed soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sugar, sesame seeds, fresh mustard, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil to make the seasoning sauce.
Blanch the squid in boiling water until it develops a firm, chewy texture.
Immediately transfer the blanched squid to cold water to cool, then drain thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Place the cut squid in a serving bowl, pour the prepared sauce evenly over it, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Combine all seasoning ingredients to make the soy sauce dressing.
Blanch the squid briefly in boiling water, then cool immediately in cold water.
Toss the cut squid with the sauce and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Do not overcook the squid, as it becomes tough; remove it from the pot as soon as the tentacles plump up and stand upright.
Adjust the amount of fresh mustard in the sauce according to your preference for a sharper, more pungent kick.
