Cooking tips

  • When scrubbing with salt, if the outer skin of the octopus peels off, it will look unattractive after cooking, so rub the salt only on the suction cups.
  • Cutting open the thickest central part of the legs, which cooks slowly, allows the head and legs to cook at a uniform rate and prevents toughness.
  • When slicing octopus sukhoe, freeze it for about 30 minutes to 1 hour first; then the knife won't slip and you can slice it thinly and beautifully like in a restaurant.

Recommended for

  • Those who have failed to cook octopus because it always turns out tough.
  • Those who want to shape a beautiful and neat octopus for a holiday or ancestral rite table.
  • Those who want a chewy, high-quality snack to dip in chojang or oil sauce.
