Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, catch the crayfish. If they are clean, skip to step 4. If not, go to step 2. If the shell or leg joints are dirty, wash them.
- 2
Wash them. Wearing double gloves will protect you from getting pinched. Scrub them well. Occasionally, some might instinctively grab your arm...
- 3
The dirt around the mouth and whiskers won't come off. Since we're steaming them, I ignored it to some extent. If you can see them as food at this point, the process will be quicker, haha.
- 4
After washing, put them in tap water to purge the mud. They won't die from chlorine. Be careful to prevent them from eating each other. Change the water daily.
- 5
Purge them for about 1-2 days. As a guideline, the water in the tank shouldn't smell, and there shouldn't be a black line in the crayfish's back vein (visible from the belly).
- 6
Now see them as food. If you're going to back out, do it now, but if you're committed, eat them all. I put about 10 in an 18cm pot.
- 7
When you add cooking sake and salt, they might jump. Cover immediately.
- 8
The only seasonings are cooking sake and salt. Pour cooking sake around the pot twice. Add a generous 2 pinches of salt.
- 9
I was concerned about the smell and like strong flavors, but if they're fresh and purged well, you can use less salt.
- 10
They'll make a rustling sound, but shake the pot with determination to cook them evenly.
- 11
Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes to ensure they're cooked through. Shake the pot to distribute the heat evenly.
- 12
This should be enough for normal ingredients, but since they were caught in a pond, I cooked them thoroughly. They were still nice and firm.
- 13
Now just peel them, but they still look like crayfish. Stay strong and enjoy eating them. Eat them like shrimp.
- 14
Gather your courage and peel the shells. Eating them might change your perspective on crayfish... it did for me, haha.
- 15
Once peeled, they're just like shrimp, haha. You can eat the heads and claws too, but since mine were small, I used them for miso soup stock.

Self-braising Scrumptious Rice Stuffed Squid Self-braising Scrumptious Rice Stuffed Squid
I adopted this from a recipe that I saw on TV. The TV show used a microwave to cook the squid, but the sauce did not penetrate too well, so I changed the recipe to simmer the sauce on the stovetop.-If you put too much rice inside, the squid will burst, so be careful.-If the rice is not enough, it will fall apart when you slice it into pieces.-If you have leftover seasoned rice, don't stuff it into the squid, but make it into a grilled rice balls and enjoy.-Simmer it over low heat. Try not to scorch it. For 1 squid's worth. Recipe by Komikan -
