📌 Ingredients for Stir-fried Soft Dried Squid Strips
[Seasoning]
150g dried squid strips
2 tablespoons of soju, 1/3 tablespoon of sugar,
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
[Golden Ratio Sauce]
2 tablespoons gochujang, 2 tablespoons red pepper powder
1 tablespoon brewed soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
5 tablespoons of water
[finish]
1 tablespoon corn syrup, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon whole sesame seeds
The amount of seasoning sauce is the same as when making 200g.
It's a bit darker.
If it tastes too salty, please add just one more tablespoon of water.
STEP 1. Spray Soju
Put 150g of shredded squid in a bowl and 2 tablespoons of soju,
Add 1/3 tablespoon of sugar and mix well.
It is better to remove the fishy smell of dried squid strips with alcohol rather than water.
It's much faster. (Can be substituted with cooking wine)
STEP 2. Microwave for 1 minute
In microwave-safe bowls (glass, ceramic, PP)
Transfer the contents and microwave for exactly 1 minute.
This one minute determines the texture of the stir-fried dried squid strips.
The hard squid strips after turning
It becomes noticeably soft and the fishy smell disappears instantly.
After letting it cool slightly, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
Please mix thoroughly.
Mayonnaise is more of a moisture locker than a flavor ingredient.
Because it wraps around every single strand
Even if you put it in the refrigerator, less moisture evaporates.
The savory umami flavor coming through is an added bonus :)
STEP 4. Add seasoning ingredients to the pan
2 tablespoons of red pepper powder, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, in a pan
1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons gochujang, 3 tablespoons water
Put everything in first before turning on the light.
It's convenient if you mix them up.
STEP 5. Boil the sauce (medium heat)
Stir over medium heat until it boils vigorously.
It bubbles from the edges first, then all over
Please turn off the heat as soon as it comes up.
STEP 6. Turn off the heat and add dried squid strips + corn syrup
With the heat turned off, add 1 tablespoon of corn syrup.
Please mix quickly.
This is the most important part. If you turn on the heat and stir-fry...
As the shredded squid contracts, it hardens.
The seasoning also sticks.
STEP 7. Finish with sesame oil and whole sesame seeds
Please make sure to add the sesame oil at the very end.
The scent rises most beautifully when there is residual heat.
I picked up dried shredded squid with chopsticks and ate it with white rice
The soft and moist texture when chewed
It's seriously so delicious :)
I turned off the heat and mixed it, so the seasoning didn't burn.
Sticks together, spicy and sweet with every chew
My mouth is full of flavor!
❓ Stir-fried Dried Squid Frequently Asked Questions
Q. If I add soju, won't it taste like alcohol?
A. About 2 tablespoons will mostly evaporate during the 1-minute microwave. However, since it won't completely evaporate, it is recommended to replace it with cooking wine or water if it is a side dish for a child or a pregnant woman.
Q. How long can stir-fried dried squid be stored?
A. I recommend storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator (0~10℃) and consuming it within 3~5 days. Since it is a salad with mayonnaise, I found it better not to use a generous amount.
Q. What should I do if it hardens in the refrigerator?
A. Please microwave for just 20 to 30 seconds. Thanks to the mayonnaise coating, it quickly becomes moist again.
Season with soju, boil the sauce, turn off the heat, and toss —
