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.

Recommended for

  • Those who struggle with consistently tough or chewy jinmichae bokkeum.
  • People looking for a smooth, spicy-sweet side dish based on mayonnaise and gochujang.
  • Anyone seeking a hearty homemade side dish that stays delicious for days after preparation.
