Piquant, healthy, colorful and tasting clean like the sea, the Korean dish ojingeochae bokkeum (??????) properly translates to stir-fried dried squid. However, we’re calling it Spicy Lunchbox Squid since this portable seafood delight is typically found in Korean lunchboxes (doshirak; ??? ). Outside of Korea you’re more likely to enjoy ojingeochae bokkeum as banchan (??), one of the many small dishes presented at the beginning of a Korean meal.
