Tako Su Ingredients

Method

Tako Su Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the octopus and boil for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Remove from water and let cool.

  2. 2

    Slice the Octopus

    Once cooled, slice the octopus into thin rounds and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and red chili flakes. Mix well to create the dressing.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the scallions and cucumber. Place them in a separate bowl.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a larger bowl, combine the sliced octopus, scallions, and cucumber. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Season

    Taste the mixture and add salt as necessary. Adjust the seasoning with more red chili flakes if desired.

  7. 7

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold as an appetizer or side dish.
