This aromatic ginger and soy grilled squid is a vibrant, diabetes-friendly dish that packs a punch of umami flavour. By marinating the squid in a blend of fresh ginger and savoury soy sauce, the delicate seafood is infused with warmth and depth without the need for heavy fats.

As a heart-healthy and low-calorie option, this seafood recipe is perfect for those looking for a nutritious, high-protein dish that fits into a balanced lifestyle. The use of mirin adds a subtle sweetness that complements the zingy ginger perfectly.

Ingredients for Squid with Ginger-Soy Sauce Marinade

  • 120ml soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

  • 45ml mirin

  • 450g small squid (bodies and tentacles), cleaned

How to make Squid with Ginger-Soy Sauce Marinade

Mix together the soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a large bowl to make the marinade. Reserve 120ml the marinade and set aside. Lay the squid in the remaining liquid, gently turning 4 times to coat all over. Marinate the squid for 10 minutes at room temperature, turning once.

Preheat a grill to hot. Grill the squid for about 4 minutes (5 minutes if they're larger than 30g apiece). Every 30 seconds flip the squid and brush on the reserved marinade. The squid will turn from translucent to white when they're ready, becoming tender and releasing a rich aroma. Be careful not to overcook; squid turns rubbery if grilled too long. Serve immediately.
