Fresh Squid Naruto-Style Rolls
- 1 Squid
- 2 Shiso leaves
- 1 Roasted nori seaweed
- 1 Wasabi
- Carefully remove the tentacles and innards from the squid.
- Insert a knife into the body, and cut it open on the opposite side of the cartilage.
- Rinse in water and remove any viscosity.
- Remove the fin.
- Do this carefully so as not to remove any of the flesh from the body.
- Peel off the skin from where the fin was removed.
- The skin should come off easily if the squid is fresh.
- Trim off the edges.
- Save the trimmed off parts to use with the innards and fin in a different dish.
- Trim the flesh into a rectangular shape.
- (These trimmings can be used for sashimi, or added to the innards and fin for a different dish.)
- Score the outer surface of the squid evenly with 5 mm spaces in between each cut.
- The depth of the cuts should be about 1/2 the thickness of the flesh.
- Be careful not to cut too deep.
- Place the sheet of nori seaweed on top of the inner surface of the squid, then roll the squid parallel to the score marks.
- With the sealed side down, slice the roll into 1 cm thick pieces.
- Place shiso leaves on a plate, then arrange the squid on top.
- Add a dab of wasabi, then it's ready to serve.
