Main Ingredients- 2 squid
- 10 peeled shrimp
- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 carrot
- 1 cucumber
- 2 Korean chili peppers (or similar green chili)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a fantastic squid salad that’s perfect for entertaining guests, as a late-night snack, or even as a refreshing side dish. Its beautiful appearance and delicious taste are sure to impress everyone!
Step 2
First, clean the squid thoroughly. Boil it in water for about 2-3 minutes until it turns opaque. Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become tough. Once cooked, let the squid cool slightly, then slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick. Cook the shrimp similarly. Wash the onion, carrot, cucumber, and chili peppers, remove the seeds, and julienne them into strips that are similar in length and thickness to the squid. The crisp texture of the vegetables is key to this dish’s deliciousness.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the flavorful dressing. In a large bowl, combine 3 tsp gochujang, 2 tsp gochugaru, 2 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp oligosaccharide, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Feel free to adjust the proportions of the dressing ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Aim for a good balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
Step 4
Add the cooked and sliced squid and shrimp, along with all the julienned vegetables, to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together with your hands until all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Be gentle to avoid mashing the ingredients. Ensure the dressing is well distributed throughout.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds over the salad and give it one last gentle toss. Your delicious and visually appealing squid salad is now ready! Its perfect balance of tanginess, sweetness, and spiciness makes it an excellent addition to any meal. Enjoy the fresh taste of this beautifully mixed salad!
