Ingredients:
- 2 cups of dried cuttlefish strips
- 1T vegetable oil
- red chili paste
- 3T water
- 1/2 T rice wine
- 1/2 T soy sauce
- 1/2 T plum extract (optional, but it will taste better with it)
- 1 TKorean cooking syrup (agave works too)
- 1T sesame oil
- sesame seeds
1. Mix the oil, red chili paste, soy sauce, rice wine, cooking syrup, and plum extract in a frying pan and bring to simmer on low.
2. Add the cuttlefish strips and mix until everything is evenly covered. Let it heat for another couple minutes or so.
3. Add sesame oil and sesame seeds and mix around.
And you're finished, literally under 5 minutes! It's good warm or cold.
