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.
