Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Clean the 1 lb squid: remove the head, tentacles, and cartilage, then slice the body into 1/2 inch rings. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the squid in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Add the sauce and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the squid is opaque and just tender and the sauce coats it evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and serve immediately.
