If using raw octopus, prepare it: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Rinse the octopus. Dip the octopus three times in the boiling water, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender (about 1 to 1.5 hours). Remove from water, let cool, then chop into 1-inch pieces. If using pre-cooked octopus, simply chop into 1-inch pieces.
