👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the squid: If not already cleaned, remove the innards, beak, and quill. Rinse thoroughly inside and out. Pat the squid bodies dry with paper towels. Score the inside of the squid bodies in a diamond pattern by making shallow cuts with a sharp knife. This helps tenderize the squid and allows the sauce to penetrate. Cut the bodies into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch wide rings). Leave the tentacles whole or cut larger ones in half.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar (or honey), and rice vinegar until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Stir-fry the aromatics and vegetables: Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onion, the white parts of the scallions, and julienned carrot and bell pepper (if using). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp-tender. You should hear a lively sizzle.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Cook the squid: Add the prepared squid (rings and tentacles) to the wok with the vegetables. Increase the heat to high. Stir-fry vigorously for 2-4 minutes, just until the squid turns opaque and curls slightly. Be careful not to overcook, as squid can become tough and rubbery if cooked for too long.
⏱️ 2-4 minutes - 5
Combine and finish: Pour the prepared sauce over the squid and vegetables. Add the green parts of the scallions. Toss everything together quickly to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the ingredients beautifully. The squid should be just cooked through.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 6
Serve: Remove the wok from the heat. Stir in the sesame oil. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
