STEP 1/9
The most messy part of jjukumi is the sucker that needs to be trimmed. Flour is the best way to remove the sucker. If you add flour and rub it as you can see, the flour is adsorbed on the sucker and the dirt can be removed. After that, if you rinse it in water several times, it becomes clean like this. It's the season of , so the jjukumi's head is full of eggs. My family doesn't like intestines. Me too... So I used scissors to remove the intestines.
STEP 2/9
Cut off the water in a pot and add the jugumi to the boiling water. If you are sensitive to smell, add a little bit of ginger or alcohol. The legs are getting dry as they ripen. If the jjukumi shrivels and the body color turns red, it's all cooked. If you blanch it for too long, it will get tough, so it's better to blanch it lightly. Blanch it and put it in cold water! Rinse it, please. It doesn't taste good if you rinse it a lot.
STEP 3/9
I cut webfoot octopus into bite-sized pieces with scissors. Jjukumi is slippery, so it's easier to cut it with scissors than with a knife.

Shred onions and soak them in cold water for more than 10 minutes to remove the spicy taste.

Put it on a pretty plate and sprinkle sesame seeds. It's done!
It is said that stir-frying Jjukumi will destroy nutrients, so enjoy it with seasoned Jjukumi!
