Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh squid (cleaned)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 cup Daikon radish (finely shredded)
- 6 leaves Shiso leaves (optional)
- 1 piece Lemon (sliced into wedges)
Instructions
1. Begin by cleaning the squid thoroughly if it hasn’t been pre-cleaned. Remove the head, innards, cartilage, and outer skin. Wash the body and tentacles under cold water and pat dry.
2. Use a sharp knife to slice the squid body into thin, uniform pieces, approximately 1/8 inch thick. For aesthetic presentation, you can carve the slices into wavy or cross-hatched patterns by lightly scoring the surface.
3. Arrange the sliced squid and tentacles on a chilled serving plate. Garnish with shredded daikon radish and shiso leaves (optional) for a traditional Japanese touch.
4. Prepare a dipping sauce by combining the low-sodium soy sauce or tamari with a dollop of wasabi paste and grated ginger. Mix well.
5. Serve the squid sashimi immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges for an optional zesty squeeze and the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
6. Enjoy the natural, clean flavors of the squid, enhanced by the simple yet flavorful accompaniments.
