Cooking tips

  • Never soak or rinse dried shredded squid in water, as it will become slimy and lose flavor.
  • Adding 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce balances the spiciness and greatly improves aroma and richness.
  • Use only finely sifted gochugaru powder—coarse flakes burn easily and make the dish look messy.

Recommended for

  • Those who struggle with side dishes becoming hard over time.
  • People seeking a clean, rich, and savory dried shredded squid bokkeum without fishy odor.
  • Those looking for a make-ahead side dish perfect for bento boxes or daily meals.
