The flavor of commercial shio kara varies a lot. I like the simple flavors of salt and the guts, so I make my own.

Just be sure to use fresh squid. Recipe by Tatakaukokkusan

Ingredients

  1. 1squid worth Squid intestine
  2. 1/2Surume squid body

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    I described how to prepare a whole squid in my squid noodles recipeso please refer to that. Salt the intestines after you take them out! Be generous with the salt, as shown in this photo!

  2. 2

    If you leave the guts overnight, a lot of moisture will come out of them.

  3. 3

    Use the remaining half of the squid body (peeled) after making the squid noodles.

  4. 4

    Make small cuts in the membrane of the guts and take out the contents. To make it smooth, chop up the contents finely or pass them through a sieve.

  5. 5

    I just use it as-is.

  6. 6

    Taste, and if it's lacking flavor add some soy sauce or salt! Flavor it to your liking.

  7. 7

    If you are going to make salted squid intestine instead of shio kara.

  8. 8

    After leaving the salted guts overnight and letting the moisture come out of them.

  9. 9

    Wash off the salt, and go back to Step 7. Salt it again, and repeat Steps 7-9. After a week to 10 days you'll have salt-preserved squid intestine. It tastes delicious, like salt-preserved sea urchin. It goes so well with plain rice! If you freeze it and slice it thinly, it's a perfect sake snack!
