Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make a super popular dish that’s a real ‘rice thief’ – Stir-Fried Dried Shredded Squid! It’s incredibly easy to make, so you can whip it up in no time, even on busy mornings.
Step 2
First, prepare the dried shredded squid. If the strands are too long, you can cut them into lengths that are comfortable to eat, about the size of a chopstick. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the prepared shredded squid and gently mix it in with your hands. Pre-mixing the oil helps the seasoning adhere better and prevents clumping during cooking.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide (or corn syrup), 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Mix them well. You can substitute corn syrup for oligosaccharide, and feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add the prepared seasoning sauce. Let it simmer for a moment. As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, turn off the heat or reduce it to the lowest setting. Immediately add the shredded squid (which you’ve already coated with oil) to the pan. Use the residual heat to stir-fry the squid until it curls up slightly. Dried shredded squid can burn very quickly, so it’s crucial to turn off the heat or use a very low flame to prevent burning and achieve a chewy texture. Quickly stir-fry with a spatula or chopsticks until the squid pieces curl.
Step 5
And there you have it! A perfectly savory and delicious Stir-Fried Dried Shredded Squid is ready! It’s a fantastic side dish for any meal, and it’s an excellent addition to lunchboxes. Once you make this, you’ll have a tasty side dish that you can enjoy for days. Enjoy your meal!
