How to select fresh squid

First, to have a fresh, fleshy, flavorful squid dish as desired, you need to choose the freshest, most delicious squid. When choosing squid, the fresher the better, the squid’s tentacles still stick firmly to the body. If the squid is still swimming that is best, if not, and it is only iced squid, then choose squid that is still firm and has not been caught for many days. That way your squid dish will be fresh and delicious.

You can use your hand to check the freshness of the squid to see if it has been caught for long. Because squid that has been caught for a long time will have soft, non-firm meat.

How to make delicious boiled squid

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

After buying the squid, remove the tentacles that are firmly attached to the body of the squid, then remove the ink sac and its digestive system. Be careful when separating the ink sac, do not break it, as this will make the squid have a stronger smell.

Use your hand to pull out the white spine on the back of the squid, then soak the squid in a little diluted white wine to remove any fishy smell, and then rinse it with clean water.

The most delicious way to boil and steam squid

The squid’s siphon is not to be enjoyed, so use scissors to cut it off or squeeze it hard near the eyes.

Use a banana to rub around the body to clean the squid one more time, then cut it into round slices that are easy to eat.

Step 2: Proceed to boil the squid

Place a pot of water on the stove. Wait for the water to boil, then gradually add the squid to boil, boil the squid until the body of the squid is firm and completely white, then quickly remove it and soak it in a bowl of ice water. This is a very good tip to help the squid to be crispy when enjoyed.

Proceed to boil another pot of water with a little diluted salt, then dip the prepared green onion inside and then cut it into long pieces.
