a nice snack at home to try!

Ingredients​

• For the Squid:
  • 1 cup dried shredded squid
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes, adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or honey)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 green onion (finely chopped, for garnish)

Instructions​

1. Prepare the Squid:
   • If the dried squid is very hard, soak it in warm water for about 10-15 minutes to soften it slightly. Drain and squeeze out excess water.
2. Make the Sauce:
   • In a bowl, mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, gochugaru, sugar, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
3. Combine:
   • In a large bowl, add the softened shredded squid and pour the sauce over it. Toss well to ensure the squid is evenly coated.
4. Marinate:
   • Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
5. Serve:
   • Before serving, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion. Enjoy as a snack or as part of a banchan (Korean side dish).

Tips​

• You can adjust the sweetness and spiciness to your liking.
• This dish pairs well with beer or as part of a Korean meal.

Enjoy your seasoned dried shredded squid!
