In a mixing bowl, add generous amount of store-bought soy sauce, then mix in vinegar 2 tablespoons, sugar 0.5 tablespoon, minced garlic 1 tablespoon, and red pepper powder 1 tablespoon to make the dressing.
Slice the onion into thin half-moon shapes, and finely chop the green onion.
Cut the microwaved squid into bite-sized circular pieces.
Add the prepared vegetables and squid to the dressing, toss well so the seasoning is evenly distributed, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top to finish.

Chop the onion and green onion into appropriate sizes.
Cut the cooked squid into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking tips 💡

Adding red pepper powder directly to the dressing helps absorb moisture released from the vegetables and squid, preventing the salad from becoming too sticky.
Avoid overcooking squid in the microwave as it may become tough; adjust cooking time according to your microwave’s specifications and the size of the squid.
