1
Prepare the squid!
-
2
Remove the innards and set aside.
-
3
Preparation: Please cut away the tips of the longest tentacles of the squid.
-
4
Squid use these tentacles as hands so they're thought of as dirty.....
-
5
Chop between the eye and the legs to separate the head and legs.
-
6
There should be a beak in the center of the tentacles, if you push it out from the leg-side then it should pop out nicely.
-
7
The photo shows the beak being pushed out with my index finger.
-
8
Cut the legs into an appropriate size and length.
-
9
The legs are arranged in a cylindrical shape so if you cut the legs off 2 at a time from the base they should be around the right size.
-
10
Place the legs on a sheet of aluminum foil and wring out the innards.
-
11
Season with some cooking sake and soy sauce (or salt).
-
12
It's a bit annoying for me to dress the squid at this point so I leave it until after it's cooked.
-
13
If you would prefer to dress the squid at this point, though, feel free to do so.
-
14
Cut the foil down to a size where you can just fit in all of the squid parts then wrap snugly!
-
15
Cook for 5 minutes in a toaster oven.
-
16
It's finished!
-
17
Eat it while it's hot!
-
18
If the flavour is a bit weak then add some soy sauce to your taste.
