This spicy Korean pickled squid (ojinguh jut) packs a lot of flavour, so eat it sparingly as a side dish to compliment your meal. Make sure you rinse it well after it sits in the salt if not you’ll end up with a rubbery salty strip of squid.
"Unassuming, but packs a lot of flavour."
Ingredients
4 medium squid
2 Tbsp salt
4 Tbsp chili pepper paste (kochujang)
2 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp rice vinegar
Serves...

A zingy pickled delight great as an appetizer
This needs to pickle overnight
Method
Wash and rinse squid thoroughly. Cut into thin strips, about 2 inches long.
In glass bowl, cover squid strips with salt. Let stand for at least 40 minutes. Drain, rinse, and pat dry.
Combine all other ingredients for sauce. In a saucepot, simmer sauce on the stove for 2 minutes. Let the sauce cool.
Combine squid with the sauce mixture until well-coated.
Cover and store at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
Serve immediately or store squid in the refrigerator.
