Ojingeochae-muchim (Seasoned Dried Shredded Squid)

The first time my family tried this side dish, the comments was quite good especially my brother who requested me try to make this dish every time he pays a visit ^^  He loves the chewiness plus some sweet and spicy after taste.  This is a super easy to make side dish and it is also one of the popular items in doshirak (Korean lunch box).  This side dish can be kept for long time in the fridge, so it's ok to make a big batch if you would like to.... My husband told me this is a great side dish with alcohol too.... >.<
