Do you like spicy food?
There are so many different types of 'spicy' taste. Indian, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Mexican and so on...have diffrent 'spicy' tastes. I love all of them. Spicy foods are awesome. They are very helpful for so many ways especially when you are sick or having an hang-over.
I'm about to intruduce to you one of the Korean spicy seafood dish called 오징어볶음 (Oh-jing-uh Bokkum. Oh-jing-uh means squid and Bokkum means stir fry or pan fry) which is cut squid and vegetables mixed with 고추장 (Go-Chu-Jang. Korean red pepper paste. You can easily find this at the Asian store near you)
Also it's very well-known as a typical Korean 안주 (An-ju. Appetizers served with alcoholic beverages ). You can add noodles or serve with the rice as you desire.
2 Squids.
5 Mushrooms
5 Perilla leaves
1/2 Carrot
1 Onion
1/4 Cabbages (Little more than Onion)
1 Green Onions
3 Tsp Vegetable oil
1 Cup Korean red pepper paste (Go-chu-jang)
1 Tsp Soy sause
1 Tsp Minced Galic
1 Tsp Sesami oil
3 Tsp Sesami seeds
2 Tsp Sugar
Prepare the squids - Take out the internal organs. scrub the squid with the sea salt and rinse thoroughly.
Cut the squids to the pieces. Don't cut them too small. Squid shrinks in an half when it cooked.
Prepare the vegetables - Wash them and cut them as squid pieces.
Preheat the pan and put vegetable oil and the squid pieces into the pan.
Cook squids until it turns to white.
Put the vegetables into the pan. make the sause mix and put it on the vegetables.
Sause mix : 1 Cup Korean red pepper paste (Go-chu-jang)
1 Tsp Soy sause
1 Tsp Minced Galic
1 Tsp Sesami oil
3 Tsp Sesami seeds
2 Tsp Sugar
On high heat, simmer for about 5~7 minutes.
The squid and vegetable pieses will get there water out.
Mix the sause with the squids and vegetables.
Stir until the sause is resolved.
Cook 10 more minutes and put salt&pepper as desired.
Remove from the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve with the rice or noodles. Just have it your way!
I put sunny side up fried egg for my husband.
Instead of the egg, we put a piece of American cheese on the rice sometimes .
The cheese melts on the rice just right and it's soooo delicious!!
