Cooking Instructions
Step 1

Step 2
First, gently rinse the dried shredded squid under running water once. This helps reduce any potentially stale taste and makes it more hygienic. Drain thoroughly in a colander until all excess water is removed. Then, cut the squid into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm long.
Step 3
To the drained shredded squid, add the seasoning ingredients: 2 tsp gochujang, 1 tsp gochugaru, 2 tsp oligosaccharide, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Also, add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. Gently mix and massage the ingredients into the squid with your hands until evenly coated. This is the base seasoning.
Step 4
This step shows the process of adding the aforementioned seasoning ingredients. Ensure you mix the shredded squid and seasonings well, considering the texture of the squid and the harmony of the flavors.
Step 5
Add the seasoning ingredients one by one and mix them with care. Focus on coating each strand of shredded squid with the delicious seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Once all the seasoning ingredients have been added and mixed, it’s time to add the key ingredient for softness: mayonnaise.
Step 7
Finally, add 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise and mix again gently with your hands. The mayonnaise makes the shredded squid extra moist and tender, preventing it from becoming tough and adding a wonderful savory flavor. Children who are sensitive to spiciness will absolutely love this!
Step 8
Your Mayonnaise Jinmichae Muchim is now complete! It looks appetizing and tastes incredibly soft. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sesame seeds on top for an extra nutty flavor and a beautiful finish.
