Categories     Fish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 fresh (½ pound) squid, 1½ pounds total
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Korean chile paste (gochujang)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon chile powder
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/2 carrot
2 green onions
1 onion
1 bell pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Clean and slice the squid into thin pieces about 2 inches long. Set aside. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chile paste, sugar, chile powder, sesame oil and ginger. Set aside. 3. Slice the carrot into thin flat pieces about 2 inches long. Cut the green onions about the same size, on the diagonal, into about 2-inch lengths. Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips. 4. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Stir in the onion and carrot and cook to soften slightly, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the squid and the sauce. Stir in the bell pepper. Cook the squid, stirring frequently, just until cooked (the squid will turn opaque and curl slightly), 4 to 6 minutes. 5. Stir in the green onions and cook for an additional minute to marry the flavors, then remove from heat. 6. Serve immediately, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, if you wish.
