Cooking tips

  • Soaking dried squid in water removes excess saltiness and prevents toughness, resulting in a softer texture.
  • Use smaller-sized dried chili peppers for a spicier, more pungent flavor that better infuses into the sauce.
  • Corn syrup adds gloss and sweetness but should be added only at the final stage—adding it earlier can cause the mixture to become too thick and sticky.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a long-lasting, savory-sweet side dish with a salty-sweet balance.
  • People interested in trying something different from typical dishes like dried anchovy stir-fry or jinmi-chae, seeking a unique dried seafood stew recipe.
