Rating and Review
Hit | Miss
This review is based on the air fryer method. I cooked mine for 13 minutes, and it came out incredibly crispy with nicely crisped edges. The batter had the perfect consistency. It was not too watery and not too thick. The kimchi flavor really stood out, and I loved the added texture from the squid. The aftertaste was quite fishy, but I didn’t mind it at all—though it may be too strong for some. Overall, this product was great, and I would definitely purchase it again. It was a hit.
