👨🍳 步驟

If the octopus is not pre-tenderized, you can tenderize it by boiling it in water for 30-45 minutes, then draining and cutting it. Alternatively, freeze and thaw the octopus to help break down the fibers.

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook until fragrant.

Add the cut octopus pieces to the pot. Stir well to coat with the aromatics.
