Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The main reason squid salad becomes hard is using too much sugar or overcooking the anchovies in the sauce. Reduce sugar and mix the anchovies into the sauce base only after turning off the heat to keep it moist even when cooled.
  • After finishing, let the squid salad cool completely at room temperature before transferring to a serving container. Storing it in the refrigerator can cause it to absorb moisture and become fishy again.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make spicy-sweet anchovy salad that stays soft and never hardens over time.
  • Those looking to master the perfect, clean, savory side dish without fishy aroma.
