Ingredients
- 10 oz cleaned squids (about 14-16oz/400g of whole squids that haven't been cleaned)
- 3-4 tablespoons sate sauce (click the link for my homemade sate sauce recipe)
- cooking oil
For the Dipping Sauce (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- a lime wedge
Instructions
- If the squids haven't been cleaned, cut each squid along the body tube, then grasp the head and pull away from the body. Remove the cartilage in the body and peel the skin membrane away. Cut the tentacles from the head just below the eyes. Discard the innards, head and beak, reserve the tentacles.
- Make sure to pat the squid dry. Lay the squid body flat on a cutting board with the inside surface facing you. Use a sharp knife to score diagonal cuts in a crisscross pattern, about ½-¾ inch apart, on the inside surface. Be careful not to cut all the way through. It is fine if you don't want to score the squids.
- Place the squids and tentacles in a mixing bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the sate sauce for basting later. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the sauce to the mixing bowl and toss with the squids. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes (or longer if you have time).
- Heat you grill pan (or you outdoor grill) over medium to medium-high heat until it is very hot. Oil the grates, then place the squids inside surface up on the grill and cook for a minute. Increase the heat if needed. The squid will tend to curl, so try to use a pair of tongs to keep them flat as much as you can.
- Flip and grill the other side for a minute. Baste the squids with the remaining sauce, then flip and grill for up to a minute, or until they are fully cooked.
- To serve: cut the squids into bite-sized pieces. Add salt and pepper to a small dipping bowl and squeeze lime juice into the bowl. Serve right away.
Notes
- If you choose not to make the dipping sauce, add some salt to the marinade. When serving the dish, sprinkle black pepper and squeeze lime juice directly over the grilled squid.
