Ika Shoga-yaki is simple but is a very popular dish in Japanese cuisine. Ika means squid, shoga means ginger and yaki means grill or fry. This recipe was given to me by a Japanese friend. I really enjoy squid and this makes a quick dinner or entree. 15 minutes marinating time is included in cooking time. An Australian tablespoon is 20 mls/one Australian tablespoon is 4 US/UK teaspoons)

Ingredients

500 g squid, thinly sliced (squid cubes)

2 tablespoons ginger, freshly grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons mirin

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1
Combine ginger, soy sauce and mirin in a large bowl.
2
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.
3
After 15 minutes, heat wok or skillet (pan) at high heat, then add oil.
4
Remove squid from bowl (make sure any juices/marinate are left in the bowl). Reserve any marinate. Add squid into the hot pan.
5
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.
6
Pour marinate into the pan and stir quickly. (Marinated meat burns easily so it's important to work quickly).
7
Serve with steam rice and green vegetables.
8
Enjoy.
