Main Ingredients
- 2 handfuls of dried shredded squid (approx. 50-70g)
- 2 Tbsp oligodang (adjust sweetness as preferred)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
- 2 rounds of cooking oil (approx. 2 Tbsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the dried shredded squid. If the strands are too long, they can get tangled during cooking and be difficult to eat. It’s best to use scissors to cut them into manageable, bite-sized pieces, suitable for children to eat.
Step 2
Now, preheat the pan. Placing the prepared shredded squid into the pan before turning on the heat allows you to start stir-frying immediately in the next step, which is convenient.
Step 3
To the pan with the shredded squid, drizzle about two rounds (approximately 2 Tbsp) of cooking oil. The oil helps the squid cook evenly without burning.
Step 4
It’s crucial to maintain low heat. High heat will cause the squid to burn quickly. Stir gently with a spatula or chopsticks to mix the shredded squid and oil thoroughly. The squid is well-cooked when its color turns a light golden yellow, the originally soft texture becomes firmer, and it feels slightly crispy. This process brings out the unique flavor of the squid, deepening its taste.
Step 5
Keeping the heat low, drizzle about one round (approximately 2 Tbsp) of oligodang around the edges of the pan. Quickly stir to coat the shredded squid evenly with the oligodang. This will create a glossy and delicious stir-fried dish.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and give it a light mix. Your delicious stir-fried dried shredded squid is ready! It’s delicious served warm, or cooled as a side dish.
