How to cook Inihaw na Pusit
Inihaw na Pusit Recipe is flavored with sprite or 7up, soy sauce, garlic, and calamansi or lemon juice, then quickly grilled to tender perfection. We cook the Squid fast over high heat or slow-cooked to achieve tenderness—anything in between results in a chewy mess.
You can eat Inihaw na Pusit as an appetizer, pulutan, as an entrée for lunch or dinner when it’s as fresh as can be, marinated, and grilled just right. Inihaw na Pusit makes a perfect beer-match choice to accompany with your favorite drinks. It is also the best companion for a steaming hot cup of rice.
Good grilled squid should always be tender yet moderately chewy and should be tasty even without being dependent on lots of dipping sauce.
