Essential Ingredients- 2 cleaned squids
- 2 Tbsp butter
Sauce Ingredients- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 finely chopped green chili pepper
- 1/4 finely chopped red chili pepper
- 1/4 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 finely chopped green chili pepper
- 1/4 finely chopped red chili pepper
- 1/4 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start with preparing the squid. Use 2 cleaned squids. To enhance the texture and flavor absorption, carefully make small, parallel cuts about 1cm apart across the squid’s body, leaving the center intact. This technique allows the butter and sauce to penetrate deeply, resulting in a more delicious dish as the squid cooks and curls beautifully.
Step 2
Now, let’s whip up the special sauce that makes this butter-seared squid truly shine! In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 finely chopped green chili pepper, and 1/4 finely chopped red chili pepper. Mix them well. Finally, add 1/4 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and mix once more. Your flavorful sauce is ready!
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and melt 2 Tbsp of butter. Once the butter is melted and fragrant, add the prepared squid to the pan. Sear the squid, flipping it occasionally, until it’s golden brown and slightly crispy. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the butter from burning. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the squid is tender yet slightly chewy and has absorbed the rich, buttery flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the beautifully seared squid on a plate. Generously spoon the special sauce over the squid, or serve it on the side for dipping. Your delicious butter-seared squid is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while it’s hot to fully appreciate the buttery aroma and the delightful chewy texture of the squid. It’s the perfect accompaniment to a cold beer or your favorite beverage!
