Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make store-bought marinated squid even more delicious! Using ingredients you likely have on hand, you can create a gourmet side dish in just about 10 minutes. Start by placing the 300g of marinated squid into a clean mixing bowl.
Step 2
Wash the cheongyang peppers, trim off the stems, and slice them in half. Remove the seeds for a milder heat, or leave them in if you prefer it spicier. Thinly slice the peppers. Next, gently crush the brazil nuts using the back of a knife or chop them finely. (Feel free to substitute with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if you prefer!) Add the sliced cheongyang peppers and crushed brazil nuts to the bowl with the marinated squid. Sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over the top. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of plum extract for a touch of sweetness and a lovely sheen.
Step 3
Using a spoon or spatula, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure the seasoning evenly coats the marinated squid. Transfer the delicious, freshly seasoned squid to a serving dish. This flavorful side dish is perfect for enjoying with a bowl of warm rice!
