How to Make Teriyaki Dried Squid (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Teriyaki Dried Squid, known locally as 'sotong kering teriyaki', is a savory snack and lunch dish enjoyed by Malaysians across all backgrounds. While the origins of teriyaki are Japanese, this dish has been lovingly adapted into Malaysian multicultural cuisine, especially in coastal cities where seafood is abundant. The mouthwatering aroma of grilled dried squid glazed with a sweet and salty teriyaki sauce melds perfectly with Malaysian flavors, thanks to the addition of local aromatics such as lemongrass (serai) and a hint of fresh chili for a spicy kick. This healthy version of Teriyaki Dried Squid strips away excess sugars and oils, focusing on grilled sotong kering and a light homemade teriyaki sauce. The dish is high in protein, low in fat, and packed with umami, making it a smart option for calorie-conscious eaters. Traditionally served as a light lunch or a special snack during family gatherings, Teriyaki Dried Squid is a staple in local pasar malam (night markets) and festive occasions. Its irresistible chewiness and rich flavors make it a Malaysian favorite for all ages.
