- 3 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligosaccharide)
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the dried shredded squids. Cut the jinmichae into bite-sized pieces (about 5-7 cm long) using scissors. Then, lightly dampen them with water to make them softer; this will help prevent them from becoming too dry and tough when stir-fried. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce that will determine the flavor of your jinmichae bokkeum. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic. Mix them thoroughly until well combined. It’s important to stir well so that the sweetness, spiciness, and savory flavors are balanced.
Step 3
It’s time to stir-fry! Lightly oil a pan and add the prepared jinmichae. Stir-fry over medium heat until the jinmichae becomes slightly tender and slightly chewy. Be careful not to overcook it to the point where it becomes too hard.
Step 4
Once the jinmichae is somewhat stir-fried, reduce the heat to low. Add the prepared sauce to the pan and gently stir-fry, mixing it with the jinmichae. Keep the heat on low to prevent the sauce from burning, and gently stir to ensure the sauce coats the jinmichae evenly. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
This is the final step! Transfer the beautifully stir-fried jinmichae bokkeum to a serving dish or a food container. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over the top for added nutty flavor and texture. Your delicious Jinmichae Bokkeum is now complete! Enjoy it as a wonderful side dish with your rice!
