To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook self-braising scrumptious rice stuffed squid using 8 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Self-braising Scrumptious Rice Stuffed Squid:

1. Prepare 1 whole squid Squid
2. Get 1 rice bowl's worth Rice (leftover rice is fine)
3. Take 1/4 piece Sliced ginger
4. Take The seasonings per 1 squid
5. Take 2 tbsp Sugar
6. Make ready 3 tbsp Soy sauce
7. Make ready 3 tbsp Mirin
8. Prepare 1 tbsp Cooking sake

Steps to make Self-braising Scrumptious Rice Stuffed Squid:

1. In a pan over low heat, add and cook the seasonings, until the sugar dissolves. (Multiply the seasoning measurement according to how many squid you are making, then plus one. e.g.: If you are cooking 2 squid, 2+1= 3, so use 3 times the seasoning amounts.) Turn off the heat once the sugar dissolves.
2. Make the seasoned rice by adding some liquid (the amount is up to you) to cooked rice (if you are using leftover rice, microwave it).
3. Clean the squid (refer to Step 4 for an easy way), and pierce some holes in the surface using a toothpick.
4. Insert your hand into the body of the squid, remove the cartridge by disconnecting it from the flesh, grab and pull the cartridge near where the eyes are. The plastic-like cartridge will come out easily.
5. Stuff up to 80% of the squid body with seasoned rice and secure it with a toothpick. (It will burst if you stuff it too much, so watch out!)
6. I hear from many people that stuffing the rice is the hard part. It is really not a big hint, but it may be easier to handle the rice if you wet the spoon from time to time.
7. In a pot, add the ginger and squid, with a piece of aluminium foil and simmer over low heat for about 20-30 minutes. Flip the squid occasionally.
8. Once the sauce is reduced, and the squid is simmered to nice golden brown color, it is done. Cool it down, cut into round pieces, serve it on a plate and drizzle the sauce over it.
