This Man's Cook's Squid Spicy Kimchi Stir-Fry

Cooking tips
- Adding 1 spoon of sugar when you start stir-frying the kimchi helps neutralize its sharp, pungent odor and sour taste effectively.
- Squid tends to become tough if overcooked due to moisture loss, so it’s best to fully cook the kimchi first, then add the squid last and quickly stir-fry over high heat to keep it tender.
- If tuna sauce is unavailable, substitute with 1 spoon of dried anchovy sauce or kanaeri sauce to maintain the savory depth of flavor.
Recommended for
- Those who want to transform stubbornly over-fermented spicy kimchi into a unique and elegant dish.
- Fans of spicy-sweet stir-fried sauces paired with chewy seafood side dishes.
