Step 1
Clean squid under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut squid tubes into rings and tentacles into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Mince garlic and slice onion into thin strips. Mix gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add garlic and onion, stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and onion begins to soften.
Step 5
Add squid and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until it begins to release liquid and becomes opaque around the edges.
Step 6
Pour in the gochugaru sauce mixture and water. Toss well to coat all squid, then stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until squid is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Remove from heat and fold in sliced green onions.
Step 8
Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with rice or as a side dish.
