2. Pour water over the cleaned squids. Heat to a boil, cook for no longer than two minutes.
Then immediately remove from the water and cool.
3. Thinly slice the onion.
If you don’t have a grater for Korean carrots to grate the carrots, then first cut them into thin slices and then chop them into strips.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan very high. Put onions and carrots.
Keep on high heat for a couple of minutes. Add coriander and hot red pepper. They can be replaced with a ready-made seasoning mixture for Korean carrots. Add finely chopped garlic. Take it to taste from 1 to 4 cloves. Remove the pan from the heat. Pour soy and vinegar into onions and carrots. Place the prepared squid heh dressing in a large bowl.
5. Cut the boiled squid into thin rings or strips.
6. Combine the dressing with the squid. Mix. Taste and add salt if necessary.
