How to cut squid with a knife

1. Take a complete squid with its internal organs removed and its black film torn off. What we want to use is its body part, spread out, with the inside facing up, and the inside to be cut. If we cut the outside, we can't make squid flowers, and it will become a straight fish. The remaining squid must be cut for later use.

2. Make a 45-degree angle between the kitchen knife and the meat surface, start from a corner, draw horizontal lines one by one, gently melt them, and be careful not to cut them off. The angle of 45 degrees is not easy to cut, and the effect will be beautiful.

3. Change the direction again and make a cross with the previous horizontal line. Cut it in the same way, and that's how the cross is filled after the flower knife is laid.

4. Cut the squid into blocks with uniform size. The shape can be arbitrary, such as cutting into long squares to make better results.

5. Boil a pot of water and blanch the cut squid. In less than a minute, you will find that the squid is rolled up.

6. After the squid is rolled up, it can be fished out. Make all kinds of delicious food you like. Such as sauce-fried squid, pickled squid, leek squid and so on.

tips: you can put ginger slices, onion slices, lemon slices or mustard oil in the water before blanching, and the effect of removing the squid smell will be better, because these things have obvious effects of removing the squid smell.

2. How to clean the squid before cutting

1. Remove the ink and ink bag

Generally, when buying squid, the seller will remove the ink and ink bag from the squid's eyes. If he doesn't do it, remember to remind him when buying it, otherwise cleaning himself may dirty clothes or pollute vegetables (the dishes are dark).

2. Visceration

Cut along the middle line of abdomen to remove viscera. Of course, if you buy frozen squid. Just take out the frozen squid and soak it in cold water. You can add some white vinegar to the water to remove the fishy smell, and then remove the internal organs after the squid is thawed.

3. Skin removal

Pull off two squid feet first, and remove the skin near the feet first. Then, from the corner of the squid (the big one), the skin is lifted and slowly pulled, which is usually easy to pull off. After removing the epidermis, it will be white and tender.

4. Eye removal

Pull out the squid's eyes from that place. Of course, you don't need this part, just squid whiskers, and throw away your head.

5. Remove the squid whiskers

Remove the squid whiskers (tentacles) from the head. Each squid whisker must be cleaned with round suction cups one by one. These suction cups not only contain sediment, but also contain substances harmful to human body. After cutting, remove the sucker and wash it with water.
