Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanch the squid in a frying pan with a small amount of water and a lid for 1 minute instead of boiling in a lot of water to prevent flavor loss and ensure proper cooking.
  • Adding 2 tbsp of the radish pickling liquid to the sauce helps the sauce blend well and adds a tangy umami flavor.
  • Use mostly minari stems for a clean texture; the leftover leaves are great for making jeon.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a cost-effective and hearty side dish with frozen squid.
  • Those looking for a fail-proof ratio for a sweet and sour muchim sauce.
  • Those who want a stimulating delicacy that goes well with soju or as a side dish.
