Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh octopus
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Carrot
• 100 grams Snow peas
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce substitute (or coconut aminos)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the octopus thoroughly by rinsing under cold water. If the octopus is large, cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the octopus for 1-2 minutes until it begins to curl. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, julienne the carrot, and trim the ends of the snow peas.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set both aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing the low-sodium soy sauce substitute (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the octopus to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown slightly. Remove the octopus from the wok and set it aside.

Step 9

In the same wok, add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 10

Return the cooked octopus to the wok and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 11

Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy immediately!
