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.
Recommended for
- Those who want to add a chewy texture to spicy-sweet chili pepper braised dish for a special side dish.
- Those looking to master the technique of tender, non-rubbery octopus braising.
