This Man's Cook Squid Strips in Soy Sauce Glaze

Secret technique of marinating in corn syrup ensures the squid remains moist and tender even after refrigeration

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating squid strips in corn syrup before cooking locks in moisture, so they remain tender and never become tough—even after refrigeration.
  • When sautéing minced garlic, use medium heat or lower to avoid burning; this allows a clean, fragrant, nutty aroma to develop.
  • Add sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds only after turning off the heat, using residual warmth to preserve their aroma and richness.

Recommended for

  • Those who struggle with squid becoming tough every time they make jinmi-chae salad or stew.
  • People looking for a sweet-savory, non-spicy side dish that kids can enjoy without hesitation, instead of spicy gochujang-based options.
