Ingredients
- 15.9 oz pre-cooked octopus
- 1.8 oz baby leaf vegetables
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 yellow paprika
- 1/4 onion
- 1.1 oz red cabbage
- 1 tablespoon butter

- Dressing: 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Dressing: 2 tablespoons honey
- Dressing: 2 tablespoons yuja syrup (yujacheong)
- Dressing: 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
Method
- Halve the cherry tomatoes, cube the red cabbage, yellow paprika and onion, and soak the onion cubes in cold water to take away their bite.
- Lower the pre-cooked octopus into boiling water for about 1 minute, then lift it out and let it cool.
- Stir the strawberry jam, honey, olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, vinegar and yuja syrup together into a glossy dressing.
- Cut the cooled octopus legs into large chunks and pat every piece dry.
- Sear the octopus chunks in the butter in a hot pan until the edges catch a little colour.
- Give the seared octopus a brief rest, then slice it into bite-size pieces.
- Spread the baby leaf vegetables over a serving plate and set the tomatoes, cabbage, paprika, onion and octopus on top, keeping the colours separate.
- Spoon the strawberry-yuja dressing evenly over the carpaccio and bring it straight to the table.
