Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook glass noodles in boiling salted water until tender, ~4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    Mix gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, 2 tbsp water, and minced garlic in a bowl. Set the glaze aside.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add squid rings and cook without stirring for 90 seconds until edges curl, then toss and cook 60 seconds more.

  5. Step 5

    Pour in the gochujang glaze and stir constantly until squid is coated and sauce thickens, ~2 minutes.
