Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Clean the 1 lb squid: remove the head, tentacles, and quill, then rinse and pat dry. Slice the body into rings and cut the tentacles into pieces.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey to make a sauce. Slice 4 green onions into 2-inch pieces, separating white and green parts.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add the squid and sauce to the skillet. Stir-fry over high heat until the squid turns opaque and curls, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the green parts of the green onions and cook for another 30 seconds until wilted. Serve immediately with rice if desired.
