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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
