Preparation:
If you have bought uncleaned squid, clean it as follows:
Remove the head with the tentacles from the body. Peel the thin outer
membraned from the body. Pull the inner cartilage from the body
(This is a single piece that looks like plastic). Discard but save
the body. Cut the tentacles off below the eye and remove the hard
pebble-like sphere that remains inside the tentacles. Reserve the
tentacles. Wash the body thoroughly. It should remain in a bag shape
after washing.
Rub the squid with the sesame oil and salt and pepper to taste. Set
aside while you prepare the slaw. |
