How to Make Delicious Dried Shredded Squid Butter-Roasted in an Air Fryer
Let’s make a tempting snack that you can’t stop reaching for: roasted dried shredded squid!
Ingredients- Dried shredded squid (Jinmi-chae) 2 handfuls (approx. 100-120g)
- Butter 3 Tbsp
- Sugar 1 tsp
- Black pepper, a pinch
- Parsley flakes, a pinch (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’ll be making a very simple yet delicious ‘Dried Shredded Squid Butter-Roasted’ using an air fryer. This recipe will let you enjoy the authentic flavor of movie theater butter-roasted squid right at home.
Step 2
First, prepare 2 handfuls of dried shredded squid (Jinmi-chae), which is about 100-120g. Using plump and soft dried squid will result in a tastier dish. Place the prepared squid into a bowl. Pour in 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Melting the butter slightly beforehand helps it absorb better into the squid.
Step 3
Next, add a pinch of black pepper for a fresh aroma. You can adjust this according to your preference.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to bring out a hint of sweetness. If you’d like to add an aromatic touch, sprinkle some parsley flakes. (Parsley flakes are optional, but they make the dish look more appealing!) Now, gently mix the squid with your hands to ensure the seasonings coat it evenly. It’s important to mix thoroughly so that the butter coats every strand of the squid.
Step 5
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spread the seasoned squid in a single layer, making sure not to overlap the pieces. This helps all sides become crispy. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 3 minutes, and it’s done! The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so check it after about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Wow, the aroma is absolutely delightful! Enjoy it while it’s warm, and you’ll taste the exact same savory and buttery flavor as the squid you get at the movie theater. The chewiness of the dried squid combined with the rich butter flavor creates the ultimate snack that you won’t be able to resist!
