What Is Dried Squid Skinless (건한치)?
Dried Squid, known as Mực khô in Vietnamese, is called 건한치 or 반건조 오징어 in Korean. Its scientific name is Loligo edulis (also traded as Loligo chinensis). In Korea, this Loliginidae-family squid is specifically called Hanchi (한치) — a thinner-skinned, more tender variety distinct from the common "ojingeo" (오징어) squid, and often associated with premium preparations such as Hanchi Hoe (raw sliced squid).
