Cooking tips

  • Steaming webfoot octopus in water causes loss of flavorful broth, so always use only soju to steam and maintain chewiness and umami.
  • Coating the webfoot octopus with a thin layer of potato starch before stir-frying ensures the sauce adheres well and prevents excess moisture.
  • Caramelizing the onions in butter enhances the spicy-sweet flavor profile to its fullest.

  • People seeking the secret spicy-savory stir-fry sauce used in famous restaurants.
