Ttukdak Hyung's Cheese Fried Squid

Extremely crunchy and savory, with string cheese inserted into intricately scored pinecone-cut squid, coated in crispy curry batter and breadcrumbs.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Briefly blanching the squid with soju for 1 minute removes the fishy smell and prevents oil splattering from excess moisture during frying.
  • Using pinecone-cut squid allows the batter and breadcrumbs to fill the intricate cuts, resulting in a crunchier texture than regular squid.
  • The key is to fry quickly until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cheese inside is just lightly melted, to prevent the cheese from leaking out.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a crispy, savory, upscale pub-style snack that goes well with beer or highballs.
  • Those who want to enjoy the combination of crispy exterior, gooey cheese, and chewy squid.
  • Those who want to try a unique and visually impressive fried dish instead of regular squid.
