Main Ingredients
- Dried shredded squid (Jinmichae) 200g
- Mayonnaise 3 Tbsp
- Cooking wine (Mirin, etc.) 2 Tbsp
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Sauce Ingredients
- Minced garlic 1 Tbsp
- Soy sauce 4 Tbsp
- Honey 4 Tbsp
- Minced garlic 1 Tbsp
- Soy sauce 4 Tbsp
- Honey 4 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly rinse the dried shredded squid under running water. Drain it gently and then cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm long, with scissors.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the prepared dried shredded squid with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of cooking wine. Mix well with your hands, ensuring the mayonnaise and wine evenly coat the squid. This pre-seasoning step makes the squid much softer and tastier!
Step 3
Now, let’s make the sauce. In a pan, combine 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 4 tablespoons of honey. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the sauce starts bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the honey is fully dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens.
Step 5
Add the pre-seasoned dried shredded squid to the sauce. Stir quickly with a spatula or spoon, ensuring the sauce coats every strand of squid evenly. Be careful not to overcook, as it can make the squid tough; stir-fry for just about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Finally, garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Your tender, sweet, and savory soy sauce stir-fried dried shredded squid is ready! It’s delicious served over hot rice. This is also a perfect side dish for kids’ lunchboxes. Enjoy your meal!
