Spicy Octopus Over Rice (Nakji Dupbap)

This is a supersimple, delicious seafood dish to soak up your rice with. I've used frozen octopus in this recipe to cut down the prep time. You can also use squid instead of the octopus. 
Cooking time: 20 minutes  Makes: 3 or 4 servings

Ingredients:
2 pounds octopus, cleaned and cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium carrot, peeled
1 Korean green or red chile pepper
1 medium onion
3 green onions, white and green parts
1/4 medium green cabbage
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1(1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
2 tablespoons Korean red chile flakes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt 
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 cups freshly cooked rice
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish 

Fresh octopus might be hard to find in regular grocery stores, but if you do find it, make sure you get rid of the intestine and clean it before using it. 
You can find already cleaned and cut octopus in the frozen seafood section of Korean grocery stores. 

Prep the Veggies! 
Wash all of the veggies. Cut the carrot and chile into thin pieces and cut the onion, green onions, and cabbage into chunky bite-size pieces. 
Slice the ginger, then crush the garlic and ginger. 

The Sauce
Mix the chile paste, 1 tablespoon of the chile flakes, soy sauce, and sugar.
Set aside. 

Quickly blanch the octopus in boiling water for a minute, then set it aside. 
Octopus loses its delicious juice and becomes tough and rubbery when it's overcooked. So DON'T OVERCOOK IT!

Over high heat, heat up the oil with the garlic, ginger, and the remaining 1 tablespoon chile flakes for a few seconds, then add the onion, carrot, and cabbage. Season with a pinch of salt and saute it for a couple of minutes.
Add the blanched octopus, chile, green onions, and the sauce. Saute for a couple of minutes, until all the ingredients are cooked.

Finally
Turn off the heat, drizzle with toasted sesame oil, and mix well.
Serve over freshly cooked rice and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish!  

Enjoy
