Ginger Squid Japanese Style (Ika Shoga Yaki)

Step 1

Combine ginger, soy sauce and mirin in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add thinly sliced squid into the bowl and mix until all the squid is covered with the sauce. Allow squid to marinade for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

After 15 minutes, heat wok or skillet (pan) at high heat, then add oil.

Step 4

Remove squid from bowl (make sure any juices/marinate are left in the bowl). Reserve any marinate. Add squid into the hot pan.

Step 5

Stir-fry squid quickly in the pan and cook until it changes colour (about 7 minutes). Work quickly as overcooked squid will become rubbery so don't over cook.

Step 6

Pour marinate into the pan and stir quickly. (Marinated meat burns easily so it's important to work quickly).

Step 7

Serve with steam rice and green vegetables.

Step 8

Enjoy.
