Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 450 grams Calamari
- 1 Green Chili
- 2 tbsp Gochujang
- 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
- 1 Onion
- 2 Scallions
- 100 grams Purple cabbage
Spicy Korean Sauce
- 5 tbsp Paprika powder or Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic and Ginger Paste
- 1 tsp Oyster sauce or Fish sauce
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame seed oil
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and pepper for taste
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Preheat the pan on the lowest heat. Drizzle the olive oil on the pan. Place chili powder, gochujang, oyster sauce, garlic powder, soy sauce and ginger-garlic paste into the pan. Continuously stir until the sauce is well mixed and thick. This would only take about 2 minutes.
- Stir Fry the Vegetables: Drizzle the cooking oil on the preheated pan on medium high heat. Place the thickly sliced chili, onion, cabbage and scallion. Mix the vegetables thoroughly so they are coated with the cooking oil. Cook the vegetable for five minutes, or until onion becomes clear. Make sure to stir it well every 30 seconds to prevent them from getting burnt.
- Cook the Calamari: Cut the calamari. The thickness of the calamari should be 2.5cm. Set aside. When the onions become clear and the vegetables begin to lose water, place the sauce and the calamari into the pan. Mix them thoroughly and continuously stir for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and drizzle the sesame seed oil and mix them well.
