This Butter Teriyaki Stir-Fried Squid is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together tender squid, umami-rich kombu, and a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce. The combination of butter and soy sauce creates a rich, aromatic glaze that perfectly coats each bite. Serve it over rice or enjoy it as a delicious appetizer with a cold beer!
1. Prepare the kombu:
• Soak the dried kombu in water until softened. Drain and cut into thin strips.
2. Clean the squid:
• If using whole squid, remove the internal cartilage, eyes, beak, and innards.
• Slice the cleaned squid into strips and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Stir-fry the squid:
• Heat a Flambo Skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt.
• Add the squid and stir-fry until it turns white and opaque.
4. Add the kombu & sauce:
• Toss in the sliced kombu, then add soy sauce, sake, and mirin.
• Stir-fry until the liquid is slightly reduced and everything is coated in a rich, glossy sauce.
5. Finish & serve:
• Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with mayonnaise, and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi for a spicy kick.
• Enjoy hot with steamed rice or as a tasty appetizer!
