I am new to the contest and I submitted a wrong recipe by clicking the submit button too fast.... anyway, here is the contest recipe for this week.


This simple cuttlefish dish is fast and delicious to cook up. It can be served as an appetizer, mixed with green as a salad or served with rice as a main course. Cuttlefish doesn't have a whole lot of flavor in its own, the marinade and the sauce play an important role in enchancing it's original sweetness. The key to a tenderness texture is to cook briefly over high heat so that it will not become rubbery. —angelcafe
