- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making a delicious dried shredded squid stir-fry, an essential part of any meal. With this recipe, you’ll be able to create a fantastic dish that even beginners can master!
Step 2
First, we’ll prepare the dried shredded squid. For this recipe, we’ll be marinating it with mayonnaise, so there’s no need to rinse it in water. Cut the dried shredded squid into bite-sized pieces, about 5-7 cm long. Place the cut squid into a large bowl and add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Gently mix and coat the squid evenly with the mayonnaise. Pre-marinating with mayonnaise helps the seasoning adhere better and results in a softer texture.
Step 3
While the squid is marinating, let’s make the sauce. In a pan, combine 1/2 cup of water (about 100ml), 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, 1.5 tablespoons of oligosaccharide, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Start heating over medium-low heat. Avoid high heat initially, as the sauce can burn quickly. Stir occasionally as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Once it starts bubbling, you’ll have a delicious and glossy sauce base.
Step 4
Now, add the mayonnaise-marinated dried shredded squid to the simmering sauce base. Mix everything gently until the squid is evenly coated with the sauce. If you prefer a slightly more stir-fried texture, you can add the squid to the sauce in the pan and stir-fry over low heat for just 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the squid tough.
Step 5
Finally, just before turning off the heat, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds for garnish. Your incredibly appetizing gochujang dried shredded squid stir-fry will be ready in no time! This chewy, spicy, and sweet dish is truly magical and will have you finishing a bowl of rice in an instant. Be sure to give this recipe a try!
