Recipe 🍳
- Cut the side of the octopus head with scissors, then turn it inside out to remove the innards.
- Turn the tentacles inside out and remove the mouth from the inside.
- To remove any grit or impurities from the octopus suckers, add 2 tablespoons of flour, rub vigorously as if sucking, then rinse thoroughly with clean water several times.
- Cut into bite-sized pieces and prepare. Tip: If you buy pre-cut octopus, you can skip the above steps. * The amounts for green onion, cabbage, and onion are based on 400g of octopus, which is half the total amount to be stir-fried. If stir-frying 800g of octopus at once, too much water will be released from the octopus and vegetables, so only stir-fry 400g at a time.
