Best Squid With Ginger Soy Sauce Marinade Recipes

SQUID WITH GINGER-SOY SAUCE MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a large bowl to make the marinade. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and set aside. Lay the squid in the remaining liquid, gently turning 4 times to coat all over. Marinate the squid for 10 minutes at room temperature, turning once.
• Preheat a grill to hot. Grill the squid for about 4 minutes (5 minutes if they're larger than 1 ounce apiece). Every 30 seconds flip the squid and brush on the reserved marinade. The squid will turn from translucent to white when they're ready, becoming tender and releasing a rich aroma. Be careful not to overcook; squid turns rubbery if grilled too long. Serve immediately.

GINGER SQUID JAPANESE STYLE (IKA SHOGA YAKI)

Steps:

• Combine ginger, soy sauce and mirin in a large bowl.
• 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.
• After 15 minutes, heat wok or skillet (pan) at high heat, then add oil.
• Remove squid from bowl (make sure any juices/marinate are left in the bowl). Reserve any marinate. Add squid into the hot pan.
• 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.
• Pour marinate into the pan and stir quickly. (Marinated meat burns easily so it's important to work quickly).
• Serve with steam rice and green vegetables.
• Enjoy.

MARINATED SQUID

Steps:

• Combine the lemon grass, chili flakes, lemon and lime juices, ginger and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour half of this vinaigrette into a small bowl. Refrigerate. Blanch the squid in boiling salt water for 1 minute. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until chilled and add to the vinaigrette. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Drain the squid. Set aside. Pour the reserved vinaigrette into a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the squid, peppers, scallions and coriander. Toss to combine. Divide the lettuce between 4 plates. Top with the salad and serve immediately.
