Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re making a beloved Korean side dish: stir-fried dried shredded squid. Let’s create a delicious meal with this chewy and flavorful ingredient.
Step 2
First, cut the dried shredded squid into manageable pieces for cooking. If it’s too long, it can be difficult to eat, so cutting it into bite-sized pieces, especially for children, is recommended.
Step 3
Gently separate any clumps in the dried shredded squid. Then, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and toss to coat the squid evenly. This pre-seasoning helps prevent sticking during stir-frying and adds a lovely toasted flavor.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide, a pinch of sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Whisk them together to create the delicious sauce. You can substitute oligosaccharide with corn syrup or sugar. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Step 5
Now, place the pre-seasoned dried shredded squid into a cold pan (do not preheat). Stir-fry over very low heat until the squid just begins to curl and soften. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become tough. Transfer the lightly stir-fried squid to a separate plate.
Step 6
Briefly wipe the pan clean, then add the prepared sauce and bring it to a simmer over low heat. As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, turn off the heat. Quickly add the pre-stir-fried squid back into the pan. Use the residual heat from the pan to toss the squid with the sauce until it’s well coated and the flavors meld together. Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 7
Voila! Your delicious, perfectly cooked stir-fried dried shredded squid is ready. The chewy texture and savory-sweet glaze are perfect with rice. This dish is loved by both kids and adults, so be sure to give it a try!
