Steps:
- Mix together the soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a large bowl to make the marinade. Reserve 1/2 cup of 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 1 ounce 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.

Steps:
- Whisk soy sauce, sugar, oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, star anise, and 1 cup water in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add short ribs and place a small plate on top of short ribs to keep submerged. Cover bowl and chill at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Transfer marinade and ribs to a large Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and braise in oven, turning meat once, until ribs are very tender but not quite falling off the bone, 1 1/2-2 hours.
- Transfer ribs to a medium bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Strain braising liquid into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Let sit a minute or so to settle, then ladle off fat from surface; discard. Bring braising liquid to a boil and cook, whisking occasionally, until reduced by half, 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk cornstarch and 3 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to make a slurry, then whisk into reduced braising liquid. Cook over medium, whisking constantly, until glaze is thick and bubbling, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
- Mound rice in center of shallow bowls and place ribs on top. Drizzle about 2 Tbsp. glaze over each (you'll have plenty left over; save it and serve with grilled steak or chicken). Top with scallion and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges and Sriracha.

Steps:
- Combine ginger, soy sauce and mirin in a large bowl.
- Add thinly sliced squid into the bowl and mix until all the squid is covered with the sauce. Allow squid to marinade for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, heat wok or skillet (pan) at high heat, then add oil.
- Remove squid from bowl (make sure any juices/marinate are left in the bowl). Reserve any marinate. Add squid into the hot pan.
- Stir-fry squid quickly in the pan and cook until it changes colour (about 7 minutes). Work quickly as overcooked squid will become rubbery so don't over cook.
- Pour marinate into the pan and stir quickly. (Marinated meat burns easily so it's important to work quickly).
- Serve with steam rice and green vegetables.
- Enjoy.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest squid available. Look for squid that is firm to the touch and has a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid squid that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Clean the squid thoroughly. Remove the head, tentacles, and ink sac. Rinse the body and tentacles under cold water. Score the body of the squid in a crisscross pattern to help the marinade penetrate.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade for this recipe is made with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice wine. You can also add other ingredients to taste, such as chili peppers, sesame oil, or honey.
- Marinate the squid for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the squid and make it more tender.
- Cook the squid over high heat. This will help to prevent the squid from becoming tough. You can cook the squid in a wok, a skillet, or on a grill.
- Serve the squid immediately. Squid is best served hot and fresh. You can garnish the squid with chopped green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds.
Conclusion:
Squid with ginger soy sauce marinade is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The marinade infuses the squid with flavor and makes it tender, while the high heat cooking method prevents it from becoming tough. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
