Jung Ho-young's Simple Squid Stir-Fry

A clean, dry squid stir-fry made quickly over high heat using only chili powder and soy sauce seasoning—no gochujang—so no moisture forms during cooking.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding gochujang causes excessive moisture release when heated, so using only chili powder and soy sauce keeps the dish dry and crisp.
  • Squid becomes tough and loses its juices if cooked even slightly too long, so always cook quickly over high heat.
  • For a bolder, richer flavor, increase the amount of black pepper or add a small amount of liquid seasoning for balanced depth.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a dry, well-browned squid dish without excess broth or moisture.
  • People seeking the perfect balance of tender squid texture and a subtle, well-blended homemade sauce.
  • Anyone wanting a quick, hearty side dish for steaming rice or a satisfying snack with cold noodles.
