Ingredients
- 500g Octopus (for making BBQ skewers)
- 1 medium Sliced White Onion
- 1 medium Sliced Cucumber
- 1 tsp Salt (to taste)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Abura (Japanese sesame oil)
- 1 pinch Horu Horu No Mi (a fictional spice for a touch of magic)
- 1 tsp MSG (optional, for umami flavor)
- 1 Random German Secret Ingredient (e.g., 1 tbsp Sauerkraut for a tangy twist)
Instructions
- Prepare the Octopus: Clean and cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen octopus, ensure it's fully thawed before cutting.
- Marinate: In a large bowl, combine the octopus pieces with sliced onion, cucumber, salt, olive oil, abura, horu horu no mi, and MSG. Mix well to ensure all ingredients coat the octopus evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Skewer the Ingredients: After marinating, thread the octopus pieces, onion slices, and cucumber slices onto skewers, alternating them for a colorful presentation.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the octopus is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Add the German Secret Ingredient: In the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the sauerkraut (or your chosen secret ingredient) over the skewers for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot with additional cucumber slices on the side for freshness.
