Kim Dae-seok's Braised Octopus and Shishito Peppers

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Adding 1 tablespoon of anchovy sauce instead of regular soy sauce deepens the umami and richness of the braising sauce.
• Octopus becomes rubbery if overcooked, so always add it only in the final stage after the peppers are fully simmered.
• For a glossy, appetizing sheen, briefly simmer the final mixture over high heat after adding corn syrup or molasses.
