  • 2 teaspoons Finely sliced pink pickled ginger
  • 6 Green shallots (spring onions), sliced, including green
  • 3 tablespoons Mirin (sweet sake for cooking)
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 Red chilli, finely sliced (seeds removed)
  • 1/2 teaspoons Sweet chilli sauce

Instructions

1

Step 1

30 minutes (or longer)

Slice calamari hoods into rings. Combine soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, chilli sauce and chilli in a mixing bowl then add calamari. Marinade for 30 minutes (or longer) in refrigerator.

2

Step 2

When ready to cook, drain the calamari, reserving the marinade. Heat canola and sesame oil in a wok or frying pan.

3

Step 3

3 to 4 minutes

Add the drained calamari (it is best to cook in 2 batches) and stir-fry over a high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until just cooked and tender (overcooking will toughen the calamari). Put cooked calamari onto a warm plate.

4

Step 4

2 or 3 minutes

Pour the reserved marinade into the wok, then add the mirin and reduce over a high heat for 2 or 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Add sliced shallots and pickled ginger to the sauce. Serve the glazed calamari immediately with Cos lettuce and lemon wedges.
