If you need to clean the squid, please refer to recipe ID 18479824. (Note: The photo shows a double batch using 2 squid.)

Add all the marinade ingredients (marked with ☆) to a skillet. Once it comes to a boil, add the squid.

Simmer to reduce the sauce.

When the liquid has evaporated, it's done! (Tip: I cut one squid into smaller pieces partway through. It's easier if you cut it before cooking.)

Enjoy the authentic taste of festival-style grilled squid! It's delicious with mayonnaise and shichimi togarashi.

Cutting the squid before stir-frying makes it easier to eat.

Easy variation: For parties, skewer the squid pieces for a fun presentation.

Extra tip: You can use the sauce to make another quick dish. Feel free to try it! See recipe ID 18548759.
