Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently rinse the dried shredded squids under cold running water to remove any impurities. Squeeze out any excess water with your hands. (Be careful not to rinse for too long, as it might affect the flavor.)
Step 2
In a wide pan, combine all the seasoning ingredients: gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, oligodang, minced garlic, and cooking wine.
Step 3
Over low heat, stir the seasoning ingredients with a spatula until well combined. Once the mixture starts to bubble gently, increase the heat slightly and let it simmer vigorously. (Stir constantly to prevent the seasoning from burning.)
Step 4
Add the prepared dried shredded squids to the pan. Stir-fry quickly, ensuring the seasoning coats the jinmichae evenly. Continue to stir-fry until the jinmichae softens and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Turn off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds. Transfer the finished stir-fried jinmichae to a serving dish. Enjoy your delicious dish!
