Chef's Recipe: Squid Stuffed with Ground Pork and Shirataki Noodles

Instructions 

1. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add oil, gently fry the ginger and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add finely diced carrots and cook for 5- 10 minutes until they just become soft.

2. Next add the ground pork, chives, spring onions, chili and cook the pork till it turns opaque and slightly colours. Turn down the heat to low.

3. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and miso paste until well combined, and there are no lumps.

4. In a separate bowl combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry.

5. Pour the Miso Paste and soy sauce mix over the ground pork and cook for 10 minutes until slightly reduced then add in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Turn off the heat.

6. Drain, rinse and chop the shirataki noodles into roughly 1cm pieces and add to a large bowl along with the ground pork stuffing. Add the Furikake seasoning, mix it all up till well combined and leave to cool.

Stuffing the squid tubes 

For best results, I would recommend using a piping bag to pipe the stuffing into the squid tubes. Alternatively, you could put the stuffing mix into a Ziplock/sandwich bag and cut a corner off.
