Broiled Whole Squid

Broiled Whole Squid
30 Minutes Easy

INGREDIENTS:

For the marinade

  • 2 tbsp Gochujang (red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp finely ground Gochugaru (Korean chili pepper)
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Korean rice or corn syrup
  • ¼ cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Black pepper

For the squid

  • 2 Whole large squids (1 to 1½ pounds each), cleaned
  • 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 Scallions, thinly sliced

METHOD:

1. For the marinade: In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and whisk together until fully combined

2. For the squid: Cut each squid’s body in ¼-inch intervals, cutting through the top of the body but not slicing all the way through to make rings. Add the bodies and the legs to the marinade, making sure the marinade coats the bodies thoroughly inside and out. Allow the squid to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, though overnight is best

3. Preheat the oven to 500°F

4. Take the squid out of the marinade and remove as much of the marinade from the squid as you can. Drop the squid into an oven-safe pan, place it on the middle baking rack and roast for 6 to 8 minutes. The squid is done when the flesh becomes opaque and is firm to the touch. Slice fully through and serve with sesame seeds and scallions sprinkled on top
