Tender, flaky fish pieces and slightly chewy, springy squid rings are contrasted by crisp, cool lettuce and delicate crunchy seaweed strips. Each bite delivers a pleasant mix of soft seafood and refreshing crunch.
Briny, oceanic notes from the seafood and nori are accompanied by a mild savory garlic-and-black-pepper background. The overall aroma is clean, fresh, and lightly savory rather than heavy.
A dry, crisp white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or unoaked Chardonnay) or a cold Korean lager; alternatively chilled soju or sparkling water with a lemon wedge.
Steamed rice and assorted Korean banchan such as kimchi, pickled radish, and seasoned spinach; a simple cucumber salad and a small dish of ssamjang or gochujang on the side for added heat.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, then arrange them on a serving plate and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes until cooked through, stirring gently. Transfer to a bowl.
Add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan and cook the squid rings for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and curl slightly. Stir occasionally.
Return the cooked fish to the pan with the squid. Sprinkle the Korean seasoning (or salt, pepper, and garlic powder) and mix well for 1 minute until everything is evenly seasoned.
Transfer the cooked seafood to a serving bowl. To eat, place some seafood and seaweed strips on a lettuce leaf, roll it up, and enjoy!
