: Ingredients

• 1 pound octopus tentacles (cleaned and trimmed)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons black bean sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 green onions (chopped)
• 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and chopped)

: Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oil, honey, black bean sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions, and jalapeño pepper. Set aside.
2. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates.
3. Place the octopus tentacles on the grill and brush them with the sauce mixture. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they appear caramelized and slightly charred.
4. Remove the tentacles from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
5. Serve the octopus on a platter and top with any leftover sauce. Garnish with additional green onions or cilantro, if desired.

: Tips

• To ensure that the octopus is cooked properly, gently pierce the thickest part of each tentacle with a knife after grilling. If the flesh is firm and springs back, it is fully cooked. If it feels rubbery or tough, cook it a little longer.
• If you can’t find black bean sauce in your local grocery store, substitute it with oyster sauce or hoisin sauce.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, omit the jalapeño pepper or reduce the amount used.

Grilled octopus with black bean sauce is a dish that is sure to impress your guests with its unique flavors and presentation. It is simple to make and can be served as an appetizer or a main course. Enjoy!.
