Recipe

Cut the squid into large bite-sized pieces, slice the onion into strips, and julienne the green chili peppers.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan and pan-fry the tofu on both sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add beef dashi, minced garlic, sugar, anchovy sauce, soy sauce, gochujang, red pepper powder, water, and black pepper in the specified amounts to make the sauce.
Once the sauce comes to a boil, add the prepared squid, onion, and green chili peppers. Stir-fry over high heat.
When the squid is partially cooked, add the previously pan-fried tofu and continue to stir-fry until the sauce becomes thick and sticky.
Turn off the heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.

Cut squid and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Pan-fry tofu until golden brown and set aside.
Prepare the sauce and stir-fry squid and vegetables in it.
Add the fried tofu and simmer until the sauce thickens, then finish with sesame oil and sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

For the best texture, leave some thick broth so it clings well to rice when mixed.
Using sesame oil instead of regular sesame oil at the end enhances the nutty aroma and depth of flavor.
