01

Mix together the soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a large bowl to make the marinade.

02

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.

04

Marinate the squid for 10 minutes at room temperature, turning once.

05

Preheat a grill to hot.

06

Grill the squid for about 4 minutes (5 minutes if they're larger than 1 ounce apiece).

07

Every 30 seconds flip the squid and brush on the reserved marinade.

08

The squid will turn from translucent to white when they're ready, becoming tender and releasing a rich aroma.
