Main Ingredients- 150g dried shredded squid
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (use regular or light soy sauce)
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup (or rice syrup, adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (use regular or light soy sauce)
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup (or rice syrup, adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 150g of dried shredded squid. Heat 2 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of canola oil (or any cooking oil) in a pan over low heat. Add the dried shredded squid and stir-fry it evenly until it curls up, being careful not to burn it. This process enhances the squid’s flavor and texture.
Step 2
Once the squid is partially stir-fried, add 2 Tbsp of corn syrup and continue to stir-fry. You can adjust the amount of corn syrup based on your preference for sweetness. Finally, add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and quickly toss everything together. This will ensure the seasoning coats the squid evenly and gives it a glossy finish.
Step 3
This is the final step! Before turning off the heat, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over the mixture. The nutty aroma of the sesame seeds will further enhance the flavor of your dish. Give it one last light stir to combine everything well, and your delicious stir-fried dried shredded squid is ready!
