    Spicy Korean Stir-fried Squid is a delicious way to eat squid. Check out this dish below 😉

    Stir-fried Squid

    Skip to Recipe

    When I travel through Europe and Northern America, it is hard to find squid dishes in restaurants. If you do find one, it is usually served as deep-fried calamari. In Korea, we like to eat squid stir-fried in a spicy and tangy chili sauce with fresh vegetables. Today, I will show you how to make it at home.

    It is a a perfect dish to learn how to clean and prep squid. Rather than explaining it here, I link to another video which details how to do it. If that seems to intimidating now, simply ask your butcher to clean it for you 😉

    This dish is typically eaten with a bowl of hot rice as it is too spicy to eat alone! Please note that this recipe requires a teaspoon of Gochujang (Korean red chili paste). You can find the paste at a local Korean grocery store or from Amazon.
