Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized squid (cleaned) Fresh squid
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon (finely grated) Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon (optional) Wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 optional garnish Seaweed (nori sheets)
• 1 small piece (julienned for garnish) Daikon radish
• 0.5 medium-sized cucumber (thinly sliced for garnish) Cucumber
• 1 teaspoon (toasted, optional garnish) Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

1. Clean the squid thoroughly if not pre-cleaned. Remove the head, tentacles, skin, and entrails, leaving only the white body (mantle). Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

2. Using a sharp knife, slice the squid body open lengthwise to create a flat sheet. Lay it flat on a cutting board.

Step 3

3. Slice the squid into thin, even strips (approximately 1/4 inch wide and 2 inches long) to create sashimi pieces. Ensure even cuts for aesthetic and proper texture.

Step 4

4. Arrange the squid slices neatly on a serving platter. Optionally, shape the slices into visually appealing patterns, such as a fan or spiral.

Step 5

5. To make the dipping sauce, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well. If desired, add a dab of wasabi paste for extra spice.

Step 6

6. Garnish the sashimi platter with julienned daikon radish, cucumber slices, and optional toasted sesame seeds. Lay small strips of nori around the edges for added flavor and presentation.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce on the side. Consume fresh to enjoy the delicate flavor and texture of the squid.
