Cooking tips
- Using rice washing water instead of regular tap water when soaking dried squid effectively eliminates its characteristic fishy odor and off-flavors.
- Always cut the squid horizontally across the grain (perpendicular to the fibers), not vertically, to prevent curling and ensure a much softer texture when cooked.
- Use jochung (rice syrup) instead of regular corn syrup or honey to achieve the deep, subtle sweetness typical of this stew, which also maintains a shiny finish on the surface of the dish.
Recommended for
- Those who want to revive hard, chewy dried squid into a soft and satisfying side dish without jaw strain.
- People looking to make a top-tier appetizer that excites the taste buds with spicy chili peppers and savory, salty sauce.
- Individuals seeking a lunchbox side dish that stays fresh and glossy even after long refrigeration, without becoming tough.
