- 1.5 Tbsp corn syrup (oligosaccharide)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the dried shredded squids into bite-sized pieces (about 5-7 cm) with scissors. Gently rinse them under running water to remove any impurities. Afterward, drain them thoroughly in a colander. It’s crucial to remove excess water, as too much moisture can make the dish soggy during cooking.
Step 2
In a deep pan or wok, combine 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp cooking wine, 1.5 Tbsp corn syrup, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp cooking oil, 1 Tbsp water, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix them well until evenly combined. Place the pan over medium heat. Once the mixture starts to boil, let it simmer vigorously for about 1 minute to slightly thicken the sauce. Adding mayonnaise at this stage helps prevent the dried squids from becoming tough and keeps them wonderfully tender.
Step 3
Add the drained dried shredded squids to the simmering sauce. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the squids and thicken. Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent burning. Finally, drizzle in 1 Tbsp sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds for a glossy finish and nutty aroma. Your delicious stir-fried dried shredded squids are now ready! ♡
Step 4
Tip: Lightly rinsing the dried shredded squids under water helps the sauce adhere better. Incorporating mayonnaise during the stir-frying process is key to ensuring the squids remain soft even after refrigeration, preventing them from hardening.
Step 5
Drizzle a little sesame oil over the freshly stir-fried squids for a beautiful, appetizing sheen. This is a beloved side dish for children! It’s perfect served over rice for a simple meal or as a delightful snack. Enjoy your moist, sweet, and savory stir-fried dried shredded squids for a wonderful dining experience! 😀
