How to Choose

Choose fresh clear squid with firm bouncy flesh, shiny surface, not too slimy, clean sea smell · salted egg with a deep-orange, oily yolk.

Chef's Secret

Secret: cook squid fast on high heat and briefly, or it turns rubbery; froth the salted egg in butter first so it coats the squid in a rich, fragrant sauce.
