Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Potato starch helps absorb the moisture released from the nakji, so be sure to add it.
  • If you add all 800g of nakji at once, too much water will be released. Instead, add only half (400g) and stir-fry quickly over high heat within 3 minutes.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to stimulate their appetite with spicy food.
  • Those who want a hearty meal by stir-frying seafood and vegetables together.
  • Those who want to make stir-fried Korean small octopus (nakji) that works well as a side dish for rice or as a drinking snack.
