1
Soak the squid in water for 1 to 2 minutes to remove some of the saltiness.
2
This will make the flavors in the sauce blend, and soften the overall taste.
3
In a bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients, except for the sesame oil.
4
Add more chili powder, garlic, and/or sugar to taste.
5
Squeeze out the water, and blot the squid completely dry before mixing it into the sauce.
6
Work the seasoning into the squid with your hands.
7
A disposable plastic glove works well for this step.
8
Add the sesame oil last.
9
It's fine to eat right away, but best the following day.

This is the recipe for a soft type ojingeo bokkum.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
