Ingredients
- 180 g shredded dried squid (ojingeo-chae or jinmichae), 6 oz
- 1½ tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons rice syrup corn syrup, or honey
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- scallion sliced, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the squid: Separate any tangled strands and cut extra-long pieces into bite-size lengths. If the squid is very dry or tough, rinse it quickly under cold water, squeeze it gently, and pat dry.
- Soften it: Massage the mayonnaise into the squid until evenly coated. Set aside for 5–10 minutes.
- Make the sauce: In a large frying pan, combine the cooking oil, gochujang, soy sauce, syrup, sugar, water, and garlic.
- Cook the sauce: Heat over medium-low heat, stirring, until it bubbles gently and the sugar dissolves—about 1 minute.
- Coat the squid: Reduce the heat to low. Add the squid and toss continuously for 1–2 minutes, just until evenly coated and warmed through. Avoid overcooking, as the squid can become tough.
- Finish: Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion.
- Serve: Serve at room temperature with rice. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
