Baby Octopus and Squid With Baby Bok Choy - Salad image

Baby bok choy comes in a variety of sizes, so the amount you use will really depend on what is available. Serving size will depend on whether you make this as a side or main dish. Red pepper sauce: go towards flavorful rather than simply merely HOT. Rice vinegar is NOT sushi vinegar, the latter has sugar. As with most of my recipes, ingredient quantities are approximate. I can see adding drained capers and/or toasted pine nuts at the end in a future rendition of this... Prep time includes marinating time.

Time 5h21m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb baby octopus
1/2 lb squid, cleaned
1/4 cup wine, dry white
2 -3 ounces shiitake mushrooms
water, to cover
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely minced
Italian spices
red pepper sauce
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon japanese rice seasoning (nori komi furikake) (optional)
1/8 ounce wakame seaweed (optional)
2 -4 baby bok choy
1 shallot, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • boil and then simmer the octopus and the de-stemmed shitakes in the mixture of water and wine for 15-20 minutes, or until the octopus is tender.
  • Add the squid, and do a high simmer for no more than one minute. Do NOT overcook! Gets tough and nasty.
  • Drain into colander and run cold water over the octopods and shrooms in the colander to stop the cooking process.
  • Cut the octopus and the squid into smaller bite size pieces. Leave the shitake mushroom caps whole unless they are truly enormous.
  • Place drained items into a bowl, then add everything else except bok choy and shallot.
  • Marinate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Immediately before serving, layer out your leaves of bok choy, along with the shallot. Drain the seafood marinate of excess liquid, then ladle this atop the bok choy/shallot layer.
  • Alternatively, chop the bok choy and shallot into smaller pieces, and put the drained seafood mixture in the same serving dish, and toss.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili sauce next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish turned out terrible. I followed the recipe exactly, but the baby octopus and squid were tough and the baby bok choy salad was wilted.
