Savory Octopus

Directions

1. 1
   Rinse and rough chop the octopus.
2. 2
   Marinate first in mentsuyu, then add sesame oil.
3. 3
   Once it is well mixed, sprinkle on finely sliced scallions and dig in!
4. 4
   It's good as is, but also delicious when left to marinate for about 30 minutes.
5. 5
   I also recommend trying this recipe with baby octopus (not ocellated octopus).
6. 6
   If they're raw, boil them first.
7. 7
   In place of scallions, garnish with julienned shiso leaves.
8. 8
   Using firefly squid in place of octopus was also tasty.
9. 9
   Note: If left sitting too long, the salt will toughen the octopus.

    Be careful!
