The most important part of making squid he this way is choosing good squid. Any squid that turns rubbery after thawing simply won't work. It's also crucial to know that squid should never be boiled — it should only be thawed with boiling water. Pour boiling water over the frozen squid, then clean off the outer membrane and pull out the innards. Next, bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop the squid in one at a time, bring the water back to a boil, and pull each piece out right away. Chill the squid in a bowl of ice water. Once fully cooled, cut the squid into strips. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet. Then pour in the oil and add all the spices, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Heat it through and take it off the stove. Pour this marinade over the sliced squid and let it marinate for at least two hours — I recommend leaving it overnight. Just before serving, stir in the onion sliced into half-rings.
