Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the squid

    Clean the squid by removing the head, innards, and skin. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and cut into rings. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the vegetables

    Slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and green onions. Set aside in a bowl.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Roast the squid

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the squid rings with sesame oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill or sauté for 3-4 minutes until the squid is opaque and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 4

    Sauté the mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil if necessary and sauté the mixed mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the roasted squid, sautéed mushrooms, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, and green onions. Drizzle with ponzu sauce and toss gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Garnish and serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and garnish with fresh cilantro if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
