Diced as small as the carrot and zucchini, it waits until the rice has fully softened, since a long simmer from the start would make it tough.

6 steps

    Mince the cooked octopus, carrot, and zucchini into tiny pieces of about 0.5 cm.

  2. 2

    Heat sesame oil in a pot, add the soaked rice, and sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes until the grains look translucent.

    Add the minced carrot and zucchini, and cook for another minute to release their flavor.

Tips

Add the octopus at the very end. Cooking it from the beginning makes the texture tough.
The 150 g of rice is weighed after soaking and draining. Preparation and cooking times start with soaked rice; soaking time is separate.
