- Squid — Clean the squid thoroughly by removing the innards and transparent cartilage. Slice it into rings for even cooking.
- Gochujang — Adjust the amount of gochujang according to your spice preference. Add more for a spicier dish or reduce it for a milder flavor.
- Napa cabbage — Shred the napa cabbage finely to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly.
