This salt and pepper squid is crisp on the outside, tender inside, and intensely fragrant with garlic, chili, scallion, and toasted Sichuan pepper. It is fast, punchy, and light enough for a weeknight, yet feels like a restaurant-style treat.

Ojingeo Bokkeum is a fast, fiery stir-fry of tender squid and crisp vegetables coated in a glossy, savory-spicy sauce. The combination of gochujang, garlic, sesame oil, and fresh chili gives it deep heat and aroma, while the quick cooking keeps the squid juicy and delicate.
