I tried to match bean paste with homemade XO sauce for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be an excellent combination. The aroma of bean paste is strong, the aroma of XO sauce is fresh, and the octopus cooked is crisp, fresh and sweet, and is also wrapped in thick sauce. The taste is very delicious. Friends who love seafood may wish to try it.

1. Blanching the octopus is mainly to remove the fishy smell and moisture. Turn off the heat after the water boils, put the octopus in, and immediately remove it once the tentacles curl. This method cooks the octopus using the residual water temperature, making it especially tender.
2. When stir-frying the octopus, the cooking time must not be too long; it is best to finish within half a minute. If you are worried about getting flustered and wasting time, you might as well put all the main ingredients and seasonings in a bowl. After sautéing the garlic, ginger, and sauce until fragrant, add all the ingredients to the pot together. Stir-fry a few times, then pour in the cornstarch slurry and serve immediately.
