Note: many cuttlefish larvae sold in the market are cleaned by the store, so you can go directly to the second step after buying them back.
Step 2: Hold the lower part of the tentacle of the squid larva tightly with your index finger and thumb, and squeeze it hard to pull out the small black spot in the middle. Then cut the eyes of the squid larvae with scissors, squeeze out the black juice inside first, and then rinse it thoroughly.
Note: When squeezing the eyes of squid larvae, be sure to cut a relatively large mouth, and then squeeze and rinse it in the pool. If the cut is not big enough, the black juice inside will be easily squeezed everywhere when squeezing, and the operation in water can be avoided.
Supplementary explanation:
1, the ink of cuttlefish contains a substance called mucopolysaccharide, and animal experiments have proved that it has a certain anticancer effect on mice. Therefore, it is suggested that when cooking with cuttlefish, try not to throw away the ink bag or squeeze out the ink in the ink bag.
2. If the washed cuttlefish larvae were not used at that time, it is best to dry them with paper towels and store them in cold storage, which will make the cuttlefish larvae taste more refreshing.
3. cuttlefish bone is also a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine. I suggest you dry it and keep it for medicinal use. It has the effects of making acid, stopping bleeding and astringing. However, that kind of cartilage like transparent plastic has no medicinal value. Throw it away. In addition, only adult squid have cuttlefish bone, and squid larvae usually have no bones.
