Dried Cuttlefish

About this item

Cuttlefish cleaned and air-dried the traditional way, with nothing else added. Drying concentrates the flavour into something deep, savoury and faintly sweet, quite different from fresh squid, and gives the flesh a firm, almost leathery texture that softens as it cooks. It works as a background ingredient as much as a main one: soak it in clean water until pliable, then simmer it slowly with pork ribs for a rich, milky broth, or slice it into strips and stir-fry with celery and chilli for a classic savoury dish. It is also good shredded into congee or braised with chicken. Sold as whole dried cuttlefish, vacuum sealed to keep out moisture. Store in a cool, dry place.
