- 1 pinch Salt

- 1 Tbsp Minced Green Onion
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients. Having everything ready is key to a smooth cooking process!
Step 2
Take the frozen dried cuttlefish tentacles out of the freezer and let them thaw naturally at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once thawed, slice them into bite-sized pieces. Slicing them thinly helps them cook more evenly.
Step 3
Briefly blanch the sliced cuttlefish tentacles in boiling water. This step helps to remove any excess saltiness and makes the texture even more tender. After blanching, drain them thoroughly in a colander to remove all excess water; this prevents the pan from becoming watery when you stir-fry.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce. Heat a pan over medium heat, melt the butter, and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, infusing the butter with garlic aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Once the fragrant garlic butter is ready, add the drained cuttlefish slices to the pan. Stir-fry them gently to coat evenly with the garlic butter. Ensuring the cuttlefish absorbs the buttery flavor is crucial here.
Step 6
Next, add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Mayonnaise will add a creamy texture and enhance the overall flavor.
Step 7
Now, add 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk. The sweetness from the condensed milk will balance the salty cuttlefish and rich butter flavor perfectly.
Step 8
Add 1 tablespoon of minced green onion for a touch of freshness. The slight sharpness of the green onion helps cut through any richness.
Step 9
Stir and toss everything together to coat the cuttlefish evenly with all the sauce ingredients. Continue to cook until the sauce is nicely caramelized and coats the cuttlefish. Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent burning.
Step 10
And there you have it! Your simple yet spectacular beer snack, ‘Dried Cuttlefish Tentacle Butter-Grilled,’ is ready! The chewy texture and savory, buttery taste are irresistible. Enjoy it with a cold beer! Bon appétit!
