A quick and easy drinking appetizer. It's not deep fried, so it's ready in no time.

Leave the octopus pieces alone and be patient, and the surface will become crispy and firm.
Be sure to pat dry the octopus well before coating it with katakuriko.
You can use sliced cheese instead of the grated cheese.
Serve as soon as it's cooked, while the pieces are crispy. (LOL) Recipe by SYNDY

Steps

1

Cut the boiled octopus into bite sized pieces, and pat dry with paper towels. If you don't dry the pieces well, the coating will slide off
2

In a plastic bag, add octopus and the katakuriko and shake to coat.
3

Add oil, butter and garlic in a pan over medium heat, and add the octopus. Try not to touch the octopus as it fries, or the coating will come off.
4

When the coating on one side has crisped and browned, turn the pieces over. When both sides are browned, add the grated cheese.
5

When the cheese has melted and become crispy, add aonori seaweed powder for fragrance, and it's done ♡
6

Note 1: The boiled octopus and the grated cheese are salty, so I don't add salt. Taste, and adjust with more cheese or a little salt.
7

Note 2: Both octopus and squid spit when heated! It's not fun at all to burn yourself. Just cover with a lid if this becomes a problem.
