Ojinguh Gui

Ojinguh Gui is a deliciously grilled Korean squid dish that's both healthy and flavorful, perfect for a light meal. Marinated in a savory blend of soy sauce and sesame oil, each bite of the tender squid is complemented by a hint of sweetness from the gochujang.

Ingredients

• Fresh squid - 300 grams, cleaned and sliced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted
• Lemon - 1, cut into wedges for serving
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon for grilling

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, honey, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
2. Add the cleaned and sliced squid to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with vegetable oil.
4. Remove the squid from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the squid is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Once cooked, transfer the squid to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
6. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the grilled squid.
