Ingredients

- Rice vinegar

Instructions
- Begin by soaking the dried shredded squid in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to rehydrate it. This crucial step restores tenderness and enhances the squid's texture.

- Add the rehydrated squid to the sauce mixture and toss until the squid is evenly coated, ensuring every strand is infused with the spicy and tangy flavors.
- Finally, sprinkle the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the squid mixture, giving it a final toss for added freshness and crunch.
