"Galician style octopus" is a very typical Spanish dish from Galicia in the North West of Spain.Most of the work for preparing this place is in cleaning and preparing the fresh octopus. Frozen octopus is available in many food stores and eliminates the need for the preparation described below.

There are a bunch of tips I have to prevent the oil from splattering. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but this really does help significantly, so try it out for yourself.Remove the thin membrane on the squid. When you are cutting the notches in the backside, make several shallow cuts and then stop and remove the skin and fibers. Soy sauce seems to remove the moisture a bit better than salt, but either is fine. Right before you add the milk, mix in the dry ingredients so that way it evaporates most of the moisture. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
