Hehehe, my family LOOOVE this - when my brother feels lazy and there’s not many banchan in the fridge, he’ll just mix this with his rice and add a fried egg for a quick meal

thank you thank you thank you. This is so simple, but I have messed it up so many times! (cooking too long, too much honey, etc.)
I also love 멸치 cooked this way. My neighbour adds walnuts to hers. Mmm…delish!

Recently I went to a korean supermarket and saw the dried squid strips. I did not buy it coz I don’t know how to cook it. I always thought dried squid is eaten as a snack. At least, I’ve eaten them straight from the package before. I need to make a trip to the supermarket again.

I have a different way of making it…

Korean StirFry Cuttlefish

Ingredients:

• cuttlefish (8.oz)
• Olive Oil 1 or 2 Tbsp.
• Hot Pepper Paste 4 Tbsp.
• Hot Pepper Powder 1 tsp.
• Corn Syrup ¾ Cup
• Chopped Garlic 1 Tbsp.
• White Sesame 2 tsp.
• Sugar 2 or 3 Tbsp.

Read On… »

Instructions:

1) Cut Strands of Cuttlefish
into 5-6 cm sections.
Rinse cut portion in a bowl of water.
Then drain and let it Stand.

2) Add some Cooking Oil to a large
frying pan and stir-fry with low heat.

3) Place rinsed Cuttlefish into frying pan
and stir-fry with medium heat.

4) While stir-frying, add the
above ingredients as noted:

Korean Hot Pepper Paste &
Hot Pepper Powder, Corn Syrup,
Sugar, Chopped Garlic, &
Roasted Sesame Seed; change to
low heat., mix thoroughly until
you may serve & turn off heat.

(Cover the Frying Pan
stew ‘til you like the taste of it;
now done, ready to serve)

ps. this is actually from the back of the packaging..
and I add my own little method at the end.

Marian, you can ask for Ojingeochae or Jinmichae.
They will know. Hopefully.

Kat, what is Taegu?

Taegu is something you can find in Korean markets and restaurants in Hawaii. I think it is cuttlefish that is cooked with a sweet chili sauce and it gets kind of sticky, but it is really good with rice and bulgogi.

Great recipe!!! Keep adding more Banchan recipes to your site. I wanted to ask since I have not seen it yet added to your site if you can add a new section~ for premade, pre-prepared foods that you can cook ahead and store in the freezer. It seems like many dishes are cooked and eaten the same night. It can be hard to cook a new meal every night. Just wanted to ask if you can share in tips for storage and freezing.

I absolutely love this side dish and have been searching all over for the recipe. I have my own recipe but i like to find the proper way to prepare it.

I usually buy the premade from K Market but they are so expensive……

Now i got to run to a Korean supermarket to buy a whole bag and make my own…..thanks for sharing
