Add the octopus pieces to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the octopus turns opaque and is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become tough.

Add the chopped taro leaves to the wok. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the leaves are tender and well combined with the octopus.

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything together to ensure even coating. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes more.
