Preparing Foil-Baked Squid
- 2 squids Squid tentacles
- 1 squid Squid innards
- 1/2 tsp Sake
- 1/4 tsp Soy sauce
- Prepare the squid!
- Remove the innards and set aside.
- Preparation: Please cut away the tips of the longest tentacles of the squid.
- Squid use these tentacles as hands so they're thought of as dirty.....
- Chop between the eye and the legs to separate the head and legs.
- 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.
- The photo shows the beak being pushed out with my index finger.
- Cut the legs into an appropriate size and length.
- 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.
- Place the legs on a sheet of aluminum foil and wring out the innards.
- Season with some cooking sake and soy sauce (or salt).
- It's a bit annoying for me to dress the squid at this point so I leave it until after it's cooked.
- If you would prefer to dress the squid at this point, though, feel free to do so.
- Cut the foil down to a size where you can just fit in all of the squid parts then wrap snugly!
- Cook for 5 minutes in a toaster oven.
- It's finished!
- Eat it while it's hot!
- If the flavour is a bit weak then add some soy sauce to your taste.
