Steps

1

Cut the squid into bite-sized pieces (pre-cooked squid can be used).
2

Boil water with sake, then add the squid. Do not let the water boil vigorously, as this can make the squid tough. Just blanch the squid briefly.
3

Lightly coat a heated frying pan with vegetable oil, add the squid, then stir-fry with the pre-mixed seasonings marked with ★.
4

When the liquid has evaporated and the squid is glossy, it’s ready to serve!
