Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • For an extra fiery kick, mix in Cheongyang gochugaru (Korean chili powder) instead of regular gochugaru when making the sauce.
  • Wind the octopus tightly and firmly around the skewer so it doesn't unravel as the octopus shrinks during cooking.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a premium octopus skewer appetizer reminiscent of pojangmacha or night market style at home.
  • Those who crave chewy, tender grilled octopus soaked in a savory sweet and spicy sauce.
