Ingredients List
800g baby octopus, cleaned and prepared
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red chilli, finely sliced (adjust to taste)
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed and halved
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
Juice of ½ lime
Spring onions, sliced (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Steps
Prepare the baby octopus by using a sharp knife to separate the heads from the tentacles, just below the eyes. Remove and discard the eyes, then halve the tentacles.
Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Stir-fry half the octopus for 2-3 minutes until just cooked, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining octopus, reheating the pan between batches as needed.
Add garlic, chilli, and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the broccolini and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Mix in the tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and sugar, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and boils. Return the octopus to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute to heat through.
Divide steamed rice among serving bowls and spoon the octopus stir-fry on top. Serve immediately and enjoy.
