Jukkumi Bokkeum (Spicy Stir-fried Webfoot Octopus)

Jukkumi Bokkeum

Spicy Stir-fried Webfoot Octopus

Characteristics

Webfoot octopus stir-fried quickly over high heat with a spicy and sweet sauce. It is typically eaten wrapped in Kkaennip (perilla leaves) along with Cheonsachae (kelp noodles) mixed with mayonnaise.

Recommendation Reason

April is the peak season for webfoot octopus. Spring octopus is plump, tender, and highly nutritious, making it an ideal choice for relieving spring fatigue and restoring stamina.

Flavor

Clean and straightforward. The sharp heat from the red chili flakes takes the center stage, while a subtle sweetness from the onions and sauce provides a smooth finish. The texture is distinctly bouncy and chewy without being rubbery.

Recipe

  • Ingredients: 500g webfoot octopus, 1/2 onion, 1 green onion, a little flour for cleaning.
  • Sauce: 3 tbsp gochugaru, 1 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp oligo syrup, 1 tbsp sesame oil, a pinch of black pepper.
  1. Rub the octopus with flour and rinse thoroughly under running water to remove impurities.
  2. Blanch the octopus in boiling water for 10 seconds, rinse in cold water, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  4. Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry sliced onions and green onions to release their aroma.
  5. Add the blanched octopus and sauce to the pan, then stir-fry quickly over high heat for about 2 minutes to finish. Avoid overcooking.

쭈꾸미 볶음 (Jukkumi Bokkeum)

특징

쫄깃한 주꾸미를 고춧가루와 고추장 기반의 양념에 버무려 센 불에서 빠르게 볶아내는 요리입니다. 주로 깻잎(Kkaennip) 위에 주꾸미를 올리고 마요네즈에 버무린 천사채(Cheonsachae)를 곁들여 먹습니다.

추천 이유

현재 4월이 주꾸미가 가장 맛있는 제철이기 때문입니다. 봄 주꾸미는 살이 통통하고 부드러우며 영양소가 풍부하여 봄철 피로를 해소하고 기력을 보충하는 데 아주 적합합니다.

과장 없이 깔끔하고 직관적입니다. 고춧가루 특유의 칼칼한 매운맛이 주를 이루며, 양파와 양념에서 우러나온 은은한 단맛이 뒷맛을 부드럽게 잡아줍니다. 질기지 않고 탄력 있게 씹히는 식감이 돋보입니다.

만드는 방법

  • 재료: 주꾸미 500g, 양파 1/2개, 대파 1대, 세척용 밀가루 약간.
  • 양념장: 고춧가루 3큰술, 고추장 1큰술, 진간장 2큰술, 다진 마늘 1큰술, 설탕 1큰술, 올리고당 1큰술, 참기름 1큰술, 후추 약간.
  1. 주꾸미에 밀가루를 뿌려 주무른 후 흐르는 물에 깨끗이 씻어 불순물을 제거합니다.
  2. 끓는 물에 주꾸미를 10초간 짧게 데친 후 찬물에 헹궈 먹기 좋은 크기로 자릅니다.
  3. 준비된 양념장 재료를 모두 섞어줍니다.
  4. 팬에 기름을 두르고 채 썬 양파와 파를 볶아 향을 냅니다.
  5. 데친 주꾸미와 양념장을 팬에 넣고 센 불에서 2분 내외로 빠르게 볶아 완성합니다. 오래 볶으면 질겨지므로 주의합니다.

추천 식당

나정순할매쭈꾸미 (Najeong-sun Halmae Jukkumi): 최근 6개월 이내의 방문객 후기에서 주꾸미가 통통하고 양념이 깊다는 일관된 평가를 받는 곳입니다.
