Ingredients
- 1 Squid (cleaned)
- 1/2 Carrot (thinly sliced)
- 5 cloves Garlic (sliced or minced)
- 1 bunch Green Onion (sliced diagonally)
Seasoning
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 3 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1.5 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin or similar)
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 3 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1.5 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin or similar)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the squid thoroughly. Remove the skin and guts, then slice it into bite-sized pieces (about 2cm wide). (Refer to ‘10000 Recipe Know-how’ for more detailed cleaning instructions!)
Step 2
Thinly slice the carrot. Slice the garlic into thin pieces or mince it. Slice the green onions diagonally; this helps the seasoning distribute evenly and makes it taste better.
Step 3
Heat a deep pan or wok over high heat. Add the prepared squid, carrot, and garlic. Stir-fry quickly until the squid is just cooked through. The key is not to overcook it, so it doesn’t become tough.
Step 4
While the squid and vegetables are stir-frying, mix all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl: 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 3 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1.5 Tbsp cooking wine. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the prepared seasoning mixture over the squid and vegetables in the pan. Stir-fry on high heat for about 8 minutes until the seasoning coats everything well. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let it cook for another 10 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld deeply.
Step 6
As the stir-fried squid is nearing completion, prepare a fried egg. A sunny-side-up or over-easy egg adds a rich, creamy element that complements the spicy squid wonderfully.
Step 7
Serve the spicy stir-fried squid over a bowl of hot rice, topped with the fried egg. The delicious balance of spiciness and sweetness in this stir-fried squid is irresistible! You won’t be able to stop eating. Enjoy this incredibly flavorful dish!
