This Man's Cook Dried Squid with Chili Peppers Stew

Recipe 🍳

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.
