👨‍🍳 作り方

1
To tenderize the octopus, place it in a pot with enough water to cover. Add half the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2
In a separate pot or deep skillet, sauté the chopped onion in a little oil (or reserved octopus cooking liquid) until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies (if using) to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Pour in the coconut milk and the remaining lime juice. Add the cooked octopus pieces, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the octopus to absorb the sauce.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

💡 プロのコツ

✓Tenderizing octopus is key. If it's not tender enough after the initial boiling, continue simmering.
✓Don't overcook the octopus once it's in the sauce, as it can become rubbery.
✓Serve with steamed rice or taro to soak up the delicious sauce.
