Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh squid
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 stalk Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Prepare the squid: Clean the squid thoroughly by removing the head, entrails, beak, and cartilage. Peel off the outer skin to expose the white flesh.
2. Slice the squid: Using a sharp knife, cut the squid into thin, bite-sized strips or rectangles. If preferred, lightly score the surface of each piece in a cross-hatch pattern for added texture.
3. Chill the squid: Place the sliced squid on a bed of crushed ice or refrigerate to keep it fresh and chilled while preparing the other elements.
4. Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, wasabi paste, and sesame oil. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
5. Plate the sashimi: Arrange the chilled squid slices on a clean serving plate. Garnish with pickled ginger, thinly sliced green onion, and sesame seeds.
6. Serve: Present the squid sashimi with the dipping sauce on the side. Encourage diners to dip the squid into the sauce for a flavorful experience.
