Pan-fry Squid
Put a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Pour in some oil. Once the pan is hot, place the squid in (cut-side facing up). Let it cook a few minutes until it starts to turn a red/purple color. Then flip it over. The squid will immediately curl. No worries. Just take two utensils and hold it down flat for ~30 seconds. It should straighten out. Cook until the side is fully cooked thru - with a nice red/purple color. Then turn the heat down to a low. Baste one side with the gochujang sauce. Then flip-it over and baste the other side. Turn off the heat. Plate and garnish it with chives and sesame seeds.
- Cook the squid about 90% through before basting
- Make sure to reduce the heat to a low before basting - sauce will burn quickly
