Jung Ho-young's Squid Stir-Fry

A spicy-sweet stir-fry that blanches squid briefly in boiling water to prevent excess moisture and toughness, resulting in a tender, flavorful dish.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never stir-fry squid raw—this causes excessive moisture and tough texture. Always blanch first.
  • After blanching, use scissors to cut out the internal organs; this prevents bursting and makes cleaning much cleaner and easier.
  • For frozen or less fresh squid, scrub thoroughly with flour and salt to remove slime and off-flavors.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a clean, non-soggy, spicy squid stir-fry.
  • Those wanting to make a hearty drinking snack or main side dish with thin wheat noodles.
