Golden Recipe Ingredients for Stir-fried Dried Shredded Squid- Dried shredded squid (Jinmichae) 200g
- 3 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)

- 1.5 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil (optional)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (sesame powder)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m sharing a golden recipe for chewy and delicious stir-fried dried shredded squid that everyone loves. Here are the ingredients you’ll need: 200g of chewy dried shredded squid, 3 Tbsp of spicy gochujang, 4 Tbsp of sweet corn syrup, 1.5 Tbsp of sugar for extra sweetness, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic for flavor, and sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds to taste.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the dried shredded squid. Since the squid strands are often tangled and long, it’s best to cut them into bite-sized pieces or tear them by hand before cooking. This helps the sauce to coat evenly and makes them easier to eat. 200g will yield a generous portion.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the star of the show – the delicious gochujang sauce! Add 3 generous tablespoons of gochujang to a bowl. This is the base for that signature spicy flavor.
Step 4
For a clean and savory taste, be sure to add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. The slight pungency of garlic will elevate the sauce’s overall flavor profile.
Step 5
If you prefer a sweeter dish, add 1.5 tablespoons of sugar. This amount strikes a perfect balance, providing sweetness without being overpowering.
Step 6
Add 4 tablespoons of corn syrup (or rice syrup) to give it a glossy sheen and a chewy texture. Corn syrup helps the sauce cling to the squid and prevents it from becoming too hard over time.
Step 7
Now, mix the sauce ingredients well using a spoon or whisk until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no clumps. You don’t need to whisk vigorously.
Step 8
Add all the prepared dried shredded squid to the bowl with the sauce. Gently mix by hand or use a spatula to ensure the sauce coats every strand of squid evenly. The more the sauce coats the squid, the more flavorful it will be.
Step 9
Once the sauce is relatively well incorporated into the squid, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma. (Sesame oil is optional, but it significantly enhances the flavor!)
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and nutty finish! The aroma of sesame seeds will further enrich the taste of your stir-fried dried shredded squid.
Step 11
And there you have it – perfectly chewy, spicy, and sweet stir-fried dried shredded squid! Doesn’t it look wonderfully glossy and appetizing?
Step 12
This 200g portion of dried shredded squid makes a very generous amount. It’s incredibly easy and quick to make, perfect for any occasion. Refer to this golden recipe and enjoy a delicious meal with your family! Enjoy your cooking. ^^
