HOW TO MAKE

1. To make the marinade, combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Reserve half the marinade for basting.
2. Add the squid to the remaining marinade and mix well to coat. Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a barbecue grill to high and lightly grease with oil.
4. Grill the squid, turning frequently and basting with reserved marinade, for 2–3 minutes until opaque and tender. Take care not to overcook the squid as it can quickly become rubbery.
5. Serve garnished with toasted sesame seeds and spring onions.

NOTES

Shichimi togarashi is a traditional Japanese seven-spice mix, predominately made up of red pepper, and is available from Asian supermarkets.
