Today’s Xiao Ce Seafood Recipe: Braised Octopus

Overview

Xiaoce likes to eat this kind of octopus very much. There are about 20 octopus per pound. When my mother-in-law cooks it, she cooks it whole. I usually remove the eyes and mouth and then burn them. My family is by the sea, and my parents are in the seafood business. I love eating seafood and cooking seafood. Haha. If you like it, add me on WeChat: moce1010
