I have the squid in my fridge – it is three weeks old. Next week I am making ojingeojeot! Here is a photo of my squid so far: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jfrater/5636714312/in/set-72157625803106143

It will be ok. You added a little more salt. No problem. Send me the photo if you want to join this project, then I will add yours to this blog.

Yes, 2 of them have sent me the photos of their seasoned ojingeojeot.
They love it!
I’m going to Toronto tomorrow morning. When I come back next week,I will update the blog. If you make it later, send me your salted squid photo, then I will add it to the blog again. So our ojingeojeot project will keep going! : )

Hello Maangchi! I am new here and I am enjoying your website very much. I was very happy to see this recipe because it reminds me of my favorite banchan dish, salty clams, at the BCD Tofu House in Los Angeles. So, I salted up my squid a week and a half ago, and every day I take it out and look at it to make sure nothing funky is going on. I have a question: Even though I followed your directions to a “t”, I have the urge to pop the lid off and add more salt to the squids. Would this be a bad thing? Is it possible to over-salt the squids? And, if I pop the top off will that interrupt the fermentation process? I certainly don’t want to mess up this recipe. Thanks, and when it is done I will add some pictures here!
