Octopus is rarely sold fresh in U.S. markets, so if you want octopus for sashimi, look for cooked, frozen, and even sliced octopus. Some people avoid eating octopus because it’s chewy. There are ways to make them tender even at this stage.
Ingredients
1 - Daikon radish, grated, or seltzer water, or houjicha tea
- Soy sauce, for serving (optional)
- Wasa
Method
- Wearing kitchen gloves, massage the octopus with the grated daikon radish for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Alternatively, in a small saucepan over high heat, combine the octopus with enough seltzer water to submerge it, bring to a boil, and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch for the color to change to red and note that the texture should have some resilience. Drain and refrig
