  Prepare the ingredients

  Clean the octopus you bought and rub it with white wine or lemon to eliminate the fishy smell. Then rinse it with water and let it drain in a colander.

  Wash the vegetables, chives, and bell peppers, then cut them into bite-sized pieces to stir-fry with the noodles.

  Blanch the noodles

  Put a pot on the stove to boil water, then place the noodles in a bowl and pour the boiling water over to blanch for about 1 – 2 minutes until the noodles are cooked, then remove and rinse with cold water and let drain.

  Tip: To avoid the noodles being mushy when stir-frying, do not blanch the noodles for more than 2 minutes.

  Fried Squid Noodles

  You put a pan on the stove with a little cooking oil, then add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to sauté until fragrant.

  When the garlic turns slightly golden, add 1 tablespoon of Korean chili sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/4 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1/4 tablespoon of vinegar, stirring the mixture well.

  When the sauce mixture starts to bubble, add all the pre-prepared octopus and stir-fry until you see the octopus firm up a bit, then add the chives… and stir for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  Finally, add the noodles and stir well so that the noodles and other ingredients blend together for about 2-3 more minutes to complete the dish.
