Yoon Yi-ryeon's Ojingeo Chomuchim

A spicy and tangy squid muchim that brings out the natural flavor of squid by blanching it in its own moisture instead of boiling in lots of water.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The key is to steam-blanch the squid in a pan rather than boiling it in water, which would cause the flavor to leach out.
  • If the sauce is too watery, the vegetables will release water and make it bland, so use sugar instead of starch syrup to keep the sauce thick.
  • If you mix the vegetables vigorously with the squid from the start, they will wilt and lose their crispness, so toss them gently at the end.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a sweet, tangy, and spicy side dish to enjoy with drinks.
  • Those curious about the secret to blanching squid so it stays springy, not tough.
  • Those wanting a crisp, mixed dish to revive a lost appetite in the summer.
