Cooking tips

  • Do not start stir-frying the squid with the shishito peppers right away, as it will over-shrink and become tough. Instead, fully cook the shishito peppers first, then add the squid last to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Adding 1 large spoon of anchovy fish sauce when mixing the seasoning enhances the umami and depth of flavor in the side dish, even without artificial seasonings.
  • Mixing the potato starch with water to a thin consistency and adding it at the end helps the sauce adhere evenly and thinly to the squid surface, preventing it from running off and enriching the mouthfeel.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a homemade squid stir-fry where the seasoning clings tightly to the ingredients without sliding off.
  • People who appreciate the distinct contrast between the spicy, crunchy shishito peppers and the chewy, satisfying texture of squid.
