Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (approximately 1 pound) fresh octopus tentacles
- 1 liter ice water
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 whole lemon
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 50 grams pickled ginger
- 50 grams daikon radish
- 4 leaves shiso leaves
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the fresh octopus tentacles thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities.
Fill a large bowl with ice water and add 2 tablespoons of sea salt, stirring until the salt dissolves. Place the octopus tentacles in the salted ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes. This step will help firm up the texture.
While the octopus is in the ice bath, thinly slice the daikon radish into julienne strips and set it aside for garnish.
Remove the octopus from the ice water and pat dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, slice the octopus tentacles into very thin, diagonal slices, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
Arrange the octopus slices neatly on a serving plate. Garnish the plate with shiso leaves, pickled ginger, and julienned daikon radish.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the octopus slices for a touch of citrus freshness.
In a small dish, mix the soy sauce with wasabi paste to taste. Serve this alongside the sashimi for dipping.
Enjoy the high-protein octopus sashimi with the accompanying condiments and garnishes, savoring the fresh, delicate flavors.
