INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🐙 230g octopus
    • 🧄 10 cloves garlic
    • 1 green chili

  • Seasonings

    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp mirin

    • a dash of sesame oil
    • a dash of black pepper
    • a dash of sesame seeds

STEPS

1

Slice the semi-thawed octopus into bite-sized pieces. Avoid slicing too thin as the octopus will shrink during cooking.

2

In a pan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

3

Add the sliced octopus, garlic cloves, and green chili to the boiling sauce. Optionally, substitute green chili with dried red chili for a different flavor.

4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the octopus gently, stirring occasionally to coat evenly.

5

Once the sauce thickens and reduces, add sesame oil and black pepper. Stir well and turn off the heat.
