Re: Eureka! I found it - the perfect octopus recipe!

Finally tried this recipe. Haven't pulled an octopus since Hawaii this summer (stuck with boiling in beer as I didn't have an oven or good pan there) The octopus came out amazing. I used "asain" ingredinients; bok choy, ginger, cilantro, lemon grass, and sea salt for the braising. By far the most tender octopus I've made, I will be using this method from now on. After braising I chopped up half the 'pus with a cucumber, more bok choy and cilantro, and tossed it all in a sesame ginger dressing. I took this chilled "octopus salad" to a NYE party with Family. Most of the people there had never had octopus and everyone loved it.
