Recipe

Cooking tips

  • For smaller spicy perilla peppers, trimming just the tip allows the seasoning to penetrate while preserving the pepper’s shape.
  • Do not add the squid at the beginning—adding it too early makes it tough. Instead, fully simmer the peppers first to soften them, then add the squid at the end for quick cooking.
  • At the final stage, vigorously reduce the sauce over high heat to evaporate moisture, ensuring the marinade clings deeply into every crevice of the squid’s cuts.

Recommended for

  • Those who love a savory-sweet side dish that pairs perfectly with rice.
  • People who enjoy the balanced texture of squid and spicy perilla peppers.
  • Anyone looking to add excitement to everyday side dishes.
