Hanmiro Brand Spicy Stir-Fried Octopus Sauce - 10 Pouches Pack
Flavor Characteristics
A strong spiciness to counteract the fishy flavor: This is the primary objective. Generous amounts of garlic and ginger are essential, their intense spiciness effectively neutralizing the octopus's marine flavor. Furthermore, Korean chili powder and gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste) provide not only a spicy kick but also a rich aroma, further masking the unpleasant odor.
A sharp sweetness to balance the fishy spiciness: Similar to tteokbokki sauce, the sweetness of Korean taffy or white sugar is crucial here. It softens the spicy pepper's pungency and synergizes with the natural sweetness of the seafood, rounding out the overall flavor. The sweetness also contributes to the beautiful caramelization during the high-temperature stir-fry.
A deep, savory flavor to enhance the original flavor: Soy sauce provides the base saltiness, while Korean fish sauce adds the finishing touch. Fish sauce, a member of the same ocean as octopus, has a rich umami flavor that enhances the octopus's natural freshness, rather than masking it, adding depth to the flavor.
A subtle use of fruit or acetic acid: Some recipes incorporate a small amount of rice vinegar or pear or pineapple juice. Its acidity not only further removes the fishy smell, but also makes the octopus meat taste crisper and brings a refreshing aftertaste, which can relieve greasiness and stimulate appetite.

Texture and Appearance
Thick Paste: To coat the smooth surface of the octopus, the sauce typically forms a thick, malleable paste. This is especially important when mixing with the octopus before stir-frying, ensuring that each piece is evenly flavored.
"Tightly Coated with Oil" After Stir-frying: The high-temperature, rapid stir-frying rapidly evaporates the water in the sauce and caramelizes the sugars, ultimately forming a thin, firm, and shiny coating on the octopus. Only the bright red chili oil remains at the bottom of the dish, with no excess liquid.
Bright to Deep Red: Korean chili powder imparts a rich red color. Because the octopus is stir-fried for a short time, the sauce typically retains a vibrant color, creating a striking contrast with the white flesh and creating a very appealing aroma.
Functional Properties:
Efficiently Removes Fishy Odors and Enhances Flavor: This is its core biological function. Through the combined action of ginger, garlic, chili peppers, wine, vinegar, and other ingredients, the sauce completely transforms the fishy odor of the octopus into an alluring aroma.
Forms a Flavorful Protective Layer: The thick sauce forms a flavorful crust around the octopus, trapping some of the octopus's moisture during the quick stir-fry process, preventing it from drying out and becoming tough due to excessive dehydration.
Adapted to Stir-frying: Octopus needs to be cooked quickly to maintain its tenderness. Therefore, the sauce's flavor must be strong and concentrated, penetrating and adhering to the food quickly. Unlike a stew, which requires a gradual release of flavor, it doesn't require a slow release of flavor.
Enhances the Chewing Experience: The salty, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors of the sauce combine with the chewy, slightly chewy texture of the octopus, continuously releasing flavor throughout the chew, creating a truly enjoyable experience.
