SPICY STUFFED SQUID. More Korean Food at www.facebook.com/mykoreaneats
Recipe Ingredients:
1 whole squid (degutted highly recommended)
2 potatoes, mashed
2 green onions, diced
2 tbsp gochujang (red pepper paste)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp mayonnaise
1 olive or canola oil
dash of salt and pepper
Recipe Steps:
Cut off the tentacles from the body of the squid. Chop the tentacles into small pieces and reserve for the filling. Remove the head and internal organs, including the sharp quill, by cutting a slit up the body of the squid. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
Peel and then boil potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes. Remove to a mixing bowl and add the chopped tentacles and diced green onions. Mix and mash for the filling.
Stuff the squid with the potato filling and seal ends with wooden picks or sew with noodle and yarn. Do not overfill the squid.
Add a little bit of olive oil on a non-stick frying pan, heat set at medium. Place the squid on the pan and brush on the sauce, slowly turning every few minutes to cook through. Repeat several times until squid becomes slightly charred, about 10 minutes total. (If you have an oven, the whole squid can be baked at 350 degrees F for 15~20 minutes while applying the sauce every 5 minutes)
