Korean recipes:
Fried squid dish (ohjinguh twigim)
As I mentioned, I made fried squid dish. The poor squid got caught by a Korean fisherman somewhere in the ocean in Korea and got handled mercilessly by someone and dried and came to Canada with my friend. And it had taken photo by me and posted, then got cooked!
What else can I do? It’s delicious. My friend, a Buddhist will give me a dirty look if she sees this.
“ooh, you are cruel!” One day she said, “how can people eat someone else’s flesh!”
Fried squid recipe:
- Cut a dried squid into bite size with scissors and soak it in cold water for 1 hour
- Beat 1 egg white until it foams and add ½ cup of starch powder, ½ cup of flour, 1 ts of salt, and ½ cup of cold water and mix it to make batter
- Drain the squid and dry it with paper towel and add 2 tbs of starch powder and mix it
- Pour vegetable oil in a pan and dip each piece of squid into the batter and fry it twice
* Serve with sauce (Mix 1 tbs of soy sauce and 1 tbs of vinegar)
Fried sweet potato
- Slice sweet potato diagonally about ½ inch thick
- Dip the piece of sweet potato into the batter and fry it
Hi Maangchi!
I’m sorry if you are getting this twice, but I don’t know if my question made it through.
I love your youtube videos and the recipes I’ve tried so far were excellent. My fiance is even hooked. I’ve shared some what I made with people at the office and my family and they really enjoyed the food! Thank you!
I wanted to know about Squid Kimchi. I heard about it and would love to make it, but can’t find any recipes on it. Are you able to help me?
Thank you in advance.

February 15th, 2008 at 9:56 pmHi, I’ve never heard about squid kimchi. Do you mean kimch with squid?
I’m not sure. It seemed that it was kimchi made with squid (with or without daikon).
Ah well. Thank you so much for the help. :-)

I’ve been dying to learn how to make Yuk Gae Jang and I found your video on iFood.com. Your recipe is amazing! The instructions of your video are very clear. I really appreciate you are sharing your recipes with us and I hope you keep doing what you are doing!
Best of luck!

Hi, June,
March 16th, 2008 at 6:23 amThank you for your compliment!
Hi Maangchi, why do you have to soak the squid? is it to make it soft?

October 15th, 2008 at 6:38 amYes, that’s the way of making dried squid softer.
If you use dried squid as it is, you won’t be able to chew it later because it’s too hard.
How do you mean to fry it twice? Do you fry it, set it aside and then fry it again? or do you fry it, dip it in the batter again and then fry it again?

November 11th, 2008 at 8:32 pmDon’t get confused! Fry it and set it aside and fry it again. That’s right! Check my “dakkangjung” recipe video. I am showing how I fry twice the chicken wings.
Thank you! Also, how long do you cook the squid before taking it out the first time?

November 15th, 2008 at 6:32 pmsorry I should have posted more detailed recipe for this. I think you can fry it just only 3-5 minutes until it is golden brown. Once it is golden brown, the inside is cooked. But when you set it aside after frying, lose its crispiness. So you will have to fry it again for a few more minutes. Then it will be very crispy.
I made this recipe and the squid was.. ok.
But the sweet potatoes were fantastic! Are there any more vegetables that are good fried in this batter?

November 28th, 2008 at 10:26 amyou can use any kind of vegetables you like with this batter. Onion, carrot, green pepper…
