Baek Jong-won's Jinmichae Bokkeum

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Tossing the squid strips with mayonnaise first helps mellow the sharpness of the sauce and prevents them from drying out or becoming tough over time.
• When boiling the sauce, avoid high heat—too much heat will evaporate moisture, causing the sauce to become sticky and overly thick. Use only low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Corn syrup and sugar work together to provide sweetness and shine. Adjust their ratio based on personal taste or available ingredients.
• Save any leftover sauce instead of discarding it—add sesame oil when making fried rice cakes for a delicious, flavorful twist.
