Tips for successful implementation
- When sautéing squid, avoid letting it get too dry, as it will become tough when cooled, making it less enjoyable to eat.
- Choose fresh squid for quality results, allowing you to taste the rich seasoning and sweetness from the meat.
- After sautéing the squid, you must let it cool completely before placing it in a food container or a ziplock bag and store it in the refrigerator or in a cool place. If the squid is still hot when stored, it will create steam, increasing moisture that can lead to spoilage.
- Since the sautéed squid does not use preservatives, it is best to prepare just enough for a week’s consumption to ensure quality and safety for your health!
