↔ No Sauce: gochujang (Korean chili paste)? Sriracha or another chili paste with a little miso and honey gets close. It won’t have the same fermented depth.

Steps

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

Separate the body and tentacles of the webfoot octopus and wash well.
Chop the octopus tentacles, Korean water dropwort, onion, and carrot.
Season the chopped vegetables with the egg, minced garlic, and ginger syrup.
Stuff the seasoned mixture from (3) into the octopus heads and secure with toothpicks.
Steam in a steamer. Sprinkling with lemon juice while steaming makes it even springier.
Make the sauce and serve it with the octopus to finish.

💡 TipThe amount of gochujang in the sauce is reduced and lemon juice is added for a fresh, tangy taste that replaces saltiness.
