Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- Fresh squid 1 large
- Onion 1 medium
- Green onion 1 stalk
- Dried shiitake mushroom 2 pieces
- Minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- Soy sauce 1 tablespoon
- Oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
- Gochujang 1 tablespoon
- Red pepper powder 2 tablespoons
- Sugar 1.5 tablespoons
- Toasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon
- Toasted sesame seeds a pinch
- Cooking oil as needed
Recipe 🍳
- Cut onion, green onion, dried shiitake mushrooms, and other vegetables into large pieces.
- Split fresh squid in half, then cut into bite-sized chunks.
- In a small bowl, mix sugar, red pepper powder, gochujang, soy sauce, and oyster sauce in the specified amounts to prepare the seasoning sauce in advance.
- Heat cooking oil in a pan, add some chopped green onion and minced garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant to make garlic-green onion oil.
- Once the aroma rises, add the remaining chopped vegetables and squid all at once to the pan.
- Pour in the prepared seasoning sauce and stir-fry quickly over high heat so that the squid doesn’t release too much moisture.
- When the vegetables release their natural sweetness and the squid becomes tender and chewy, drizzle with toasted sesame oil for extra fragrance.
- Transfer the finished squid stir-fry to a serving bowl, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, crush them lightly with your hands, and serve generously.
- Cut vegetables into large pieces and chop squid into bite-sized chunks.
- Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, gochujang, red pepper powder, and sugar to make the seasoning sauce.
- Stir-fry green onion and minced garlic in a pan to develop aroma, then add vegetables, squid, and seasoning sauce.
- Quickly stir-fry over high heat and finish by drizzling with toasted sesame oil and sprinkling with toasted sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- Home stoves or induction cooktops are often less powerful than Chinese woks, making it easier for moisture to form; for a drier, cleaner stir-fry, briefly blanch the squid in boiling water before stir-frying.
- As onions and green onions release natural sweetness when cooked with the sauce, avoid adding too much sugar at the beginning.
