Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (approximately 300 grams) Fresh squid
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
- 4 leaves Shiso leaves
- 1 whole, for garnish Lemon
Instructions
Begin by ensuring your workspace and tools, including a sharp sashimi knife, are clean and well-prepared.
Carefully clean the squid: hold the body and gently pull the head to separate it from the mantle. Remove the innards and backbone from inside the body. Cut off the tentacles just above the eyes, discard the head and retain the tentacles.
Peel the skin off the squid’s mantle by inserting your fingers under the edge and pulling it away. Rinse the mantle and tentacles under cold water to remove any remaining impurities.
Pat the squid parts dry with a paper towel.
Slice the mantle into thin, uniform pieces. Each piece should be about 3mm thick to give the best texture and flavor.
Arrange the squid slices neatly on a serving plate. You can creatively shape the presentation to enhance the dish’s aesthetics.
Garnish the plate with shiso leaves for an aromatic and fresh accent.
Accompany the sashimi with lemon wedges for an optional citrus squeeze over the squid before eating.
Serve the squid sashimi with soy sauce and wasabi on the side, allowing diners to dip as they wish. Provide pickled ginger as a palate cleanser between bites.
Enjoy your homemade squid sashimi as part of a nutritious and elegant meal.
