Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the red chili powder burns, it can impart a bitter taste—always stir-fry over medium heat to prevent burning.
  • For best results, use rice that has cooled slightly rather than hot; this allows the broth to absorb better and preserves the texture of each grain.
  • The squid skin contains rich umami compounds, so it’s best to keep it on during cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those craving a spicy, numbing soup that clears the body and refreshes the palate.
  • People looking for a hearty gukbap packed with pork belly and squid for satisfying chewiness.
  • Fans of sweet zucchini paired with fresh seafood flavors seeking a unique and delicious dish.
