Japanese Grilled Golden Cuttlefish Recipe
Serves/Makes: 2
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces fresh cuttlefish flesh, octopus flesh or firm white fish fillet
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Small pastry brush
How to cook Japanese Grilled Golden Cuttlefish:
- Beat the egg yolks lightly in a bowl and set aside.
- Using a sharp knife, lightly score to mark parallel lines 1/4 in (1/2 cm) wide on the cuttlefish flesh. Sprinkle with salt, then thread the cuttlefish flesh onto two or more skewers to prevent it from curling during the cooking process.
- Set the broiler at moderate heat. Grill the cuttlefish very quickly for 2 minutes on each side. Brush the egg glaze on the cuttlefish and continue to grill until the egg glaze sets.
- Turn the cuttlefish over and brush again. Repeat three to four times, until the glaze is an even, golden yellow this will take about 5 minutes.
- Make sure not to overcook the meat or the texture of the cuttlefish will be rubbery. Remove the skewers and slice the grilled cuttlefish through the scored lines and serve.
