Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice has rested, fold the vinegar mixture into the rice and let cool.

Marinate the Octopus

Form and Fry the Rice
Once the rice has cooled, form it into small rectangular or square cakes. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the rice cakes until they are golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
