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.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth.
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.
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.
Step 5
Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and serve immediately.
