Kim Dae-seok's Squid Fritters

Steaming fresh squid briefly makes it easier to handle, then pan-frying with just starch and egg creates a delightfully chewy yet crispy specialty fritter

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Fresh squid is extremely slippery and hard to chop directly, but steaming it briefly with mirin removes the fishy smell and makes preparation significantly easier.
  • Using only potato starch and eggs—no flour or batter mix—ensures a soft yet resilient chewiness in the final fritters.
  • Mixing green chili and crunchy chili peppers helps balance the richness of fried food with a crisp, clean, and spicy kick.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy squid dishes easily without dealing with the hassle of handling slippery raw squid.
  • People looking for a unique fritter dish perfect for holidays or rainy days to enjoy with the whole family.
