Kim Dae-seok's Octopus Stir-fry

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Never blanch octopus in boiling water—its rich juices and nutrients will be lost. The key is steaming it lightly using only its own moisture.
• Do not stir-fry octopus and vegetables together from the start, or the octopus will overcook and become tough. Always sauté vegetables in the sauce first, then add octopus at the end for tenderness.
• Adding a full tablespoon of potato starch directly at the end prevents broth formation and enhances sauce adhesion, keeping the dish clean and well-coated.
