Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding 1 tablespoon of sugar to the cooking water helps maintain the octopus’s bright red color and makes it look more appetizing.
  • Blanching the green onions first allows their subtle aroma to infuse into the water, helping to neutralize the octopus’s fishy odor.
  • Octopus tentacles are thicker than the body, so they need an additional 1 minute of cooking to be fully done inside.

Recommended for
