Recipe

Scrape the suction cups off the squid legs by hand to clean them thoroughly, rinse with water, then drain in a colander to remove all moisture.
Lightly season the dried squid body and legs with salt and black pepper.
Place minced garlic and butter in a frying pan, and pour in 2 tablespoons of soju to prevent burning and help infuse the aroma.
Place the squid in the pan, reduce the heat to low, and slowly grill for 15–20 minutes to coat it with the butter and garlic flavor.
Once cooked through and golden, transfer to a plate and top with cilantro to taste.

Clean the squid suction cups, dry thoroughly, and season.
Place the squid in a pan with butter, minced garlic, and soju.
Grill gently over low heat for 15–20 minutes, then plate.

Cooking tips

The key is to dry the squid completely, as any remaining moisture on the surface will prevent the butter flavor from absorbing well.
You can substitute soju with Baekhwasubok or white wine; if there is no liquid at all, the pan may burn, so be sure to add a little alcohol or water.
If the heat is too high, the garlic and butter can easily burn, so always maintain low heat.
