Akihiro Tamego Akihiro Tamego


Ingredients

Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 cuttlefish
80g glutinous rice
1 teaspoon sake
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Sauce for grilling:
soy sauce and mirin (9:1)



Directions

  1. Cut the legs off the cuttlefish. Remove entrails and rinse the cylinder-shaped cuttlefish. Cut the legs into 1-cm pieces.

  2. Rinse the rice and soak in water for a while. Drain the rice, mix with the cuttlefish legs and season with sake and soy sauce. Stuff the cuttlefish with the rice mixture and close the end with bamboo spits.

  3. Boil some water in a pressure cooker, set a rack for steaming in it, and place the stuffed cuttlefish on it. Cover the pressure cooker, add pressure and cook for 10 minutes.

  4. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for approx. 10 minutes. Remove the stuffed cuttlefish and grill over a burner while applying the sauce over it.

Tips:

  • In a pressure cooker, cuttlefish is cooked tender by steaming and the rice stuffing can be cooked at the same time.
