Method

  1. 1 Clean the squid, peel off the membrane, and then cut it into thick strips.
  2. 2 Toss the squid with coarse salt and refrigerate for a day to remove all the water.
  3. 3 Drain off the excess liquid and rinse gently to prevent the fish sauce from becoming too salty.
  4. 4 Mix the squid with Korean chili powder, crushed garlic and ginger, and honey.
  5. 5 Refrigerate for about a week, stirring once a day to ensure even fermentation.
