- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste – base for spiciness)
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes – for color and heat)
- 1.5 Tbsp Soy sauce (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (or cooking wine – to remove gamey odors and enhance flavor)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the cabbage leaves into approximately 2cm bite-sized pieces. Roll the perilla leaves and thinly slice them into about 0.5cm strips to preserve their aroma. Slice the onion similarly to the perilla leaves. Slice the green onion and Cheongyang chili pepper diagonally. For the sundae, it’s best to briefly boil or steam it before cutting into bite-sized pieces for a softer texture. Clean the squid, remove the skin, and cut the body into rings or desired pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients: 1 Tbsp gochujang, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 Tbsp perilla seed powder. Mix well with a spoon until a delicious sauce is formed. Ensure all the seasonings are dissolved.
Step 3
Add the prepared sundae, squid, cabbage, onion, and Cheongyang chili pepper to the seasoning mixture. Gently toss everything together with your hands to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes for the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated ingredients from step 3 and begin to stir-fry. Cook until the squid turns opaque and the sundae is lightly browned. Once the vegetables are tender and everything is cooked through, add the sliced green onions and perilla leaves. Stir-fry for another minute to release their fragrance. Turn off the heat, drizzle with 1 Tbsp of sesame oil, and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds for a glossy finish. Your delicious Stir-Fried Squid Sausage is ready! Enjoy it while it’s warm.
