Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Wash and clean the small octopus and webfoot octopus separately in salt water.
  2. Cut the small octopus into 5cm lengths.
  3. Thinly julienne each of the vegetables into 10cm lengths.
  4. Make the sauce.
  5. Blanch the fresh noodles in boiling water.
  6. Add cooking oil to a heated pan, stir-fry the vegetables, then add the noodles and sauce and stir-fry thoroughly.
💡 TipOctopus can be eaten without any seasoning, so stir-fry it with the vegetables unseasoned, then make the sauce and add it just before eating.
