Fresh Flower-Cut Squid

Cleaned squid scored in a fine cross-hatch so it curls into pretty flower shapes the moment it hits heat. The scoring also lets the seasoning cling and keeps the texture tender rather than chewy.

What you get

• 2 kg portion, cleaned and scored
• Cut into even bite-sized pieces
• Chilled, with no added preservatives

Why cooks like it

• Curious flower shape that lifts the look of any plate
• Tender, springy texture that survives fast cooking
• Neutral taste that takes on sauces and marinades well

How to cook

• Blanch for 30-40 seconds - the pieces curl as soon as they are done
• Stir-fry over very high heat with garlic, chilli and greens
• Drop into hot pot or simmer briefly in a seafood soup
