With just a few basic lines, you can create a very beautiful flower shape for the ink, even clumsy people can do it.
Squid is one of the seafood that is loved by many people because of its delicious taste and rich in nutrition. Squid can be cooked into many attractive dishes such as grilled, steamed, cooked soup, porridge, soup, stir-fried… in which stir-fried squid is also very popular.
Usually when stir-frying squid, with the little ones, they just need to clean it and then stir-fry the whole baby. But for large squid, you can cut into bite-sized pieces and then stir-fry. However, in order to look as beautiful as the outside, people will trim a few basic lines so that when stir-frying the squid like a flower, it looks very interesting and attractive.
So how to prune it specifically, please refer to the details of how to do it below:
Prepare:
– Big squid, sharp knife.
Making:
Squid brought out the entire inside including the squid bone. Peel off the purple outer shell to give the ink a nice white color. Then wash the squid with diluted salt water. Then rinse the ink with water to completely clean.
Use a sharp knife to cut the ink in half lengthwise.
In one half of the ink, use a knife to cut into many parallel lines horizontally, each line about 0.3cm apart. Cut a little deep but do not break the ink. Cut until the width of the ink pad is exhausted.
Then, still on this side of the ink, the knife is tilted at an angle of 30 degrees, cut the blade in at the corner of the ink pad, forming a slightly deep cut but not breaking the ink. Then cut the same lines as above parallel to the original line, each of which is 1 to 1.25cm apart. Repeat until the end. (Note: If you don’t like diagonal cutting, you can completely cut lines perpendicular to the original lines.)
Do the same with the other half of the squid. The part of the squid beard you cut off the eyes, wash it. If the beard is long, it can be cut to taste.
At this time, in the cut pieces of ink, use a knife to cut into squares or rectangles or triangles to eat as you like.
Boil a pot of water, drop the trimmed squid, put in the blanch for a few seconds to shrink the ink, then the trimmed lines will spread out like a very beautiful flower. Take out the squid and drop it into a bowl of cold water to firm up.
Now you just need to use these pieces of squid to make a salad or stir-fry, grill, all very attractive and beautiful! Too simple, isn’t it!
Good luck!
