Hello, this is Walking of Ace 1st Class.

Sharing nutritional tips about octopus

I hope this helps.

Octopus is a seafood that contains many nutritional components.

It is a good ingredient for a healthy diet meal with various nutrients and low calories.

I'll check each nutrient component one by one.

 

• Protein - High-protein, low-fat foods are important for muscle development and immune function enhancement.
• Vitamin B12 - Richly contained, important for red blood cell production, nerve function maintenance, and DNA synthesis
• Vitamin B6 - Richly contained, important for protein metabolism, nerve function, and platelet production
• Iron - Octopus contains abundant iron, which is involved in red blood cell production and oxygen transport, supporting energy production and the smooth functioning of the immune system.
• Zinc - abundant, important for immune function, cell division, and hormone regulation
• Carbohydrates - Suitable for people who prefer a low-carbohydrate diet with low carbohydrate content
• Minerals - Contains various minerals such as zinc, calcium, potassium, and sodium, which play an important role in maintaining overall body functions.

 

I'll learn how to prepare octopus.

An octopus larger than two adult fists caught by a friend while fishing

It was too large, so I left only enough to eat at once, and divided the rest into portions and stored them in the freezer.

If you divide into portions enough to eat and store in the freezer, the firmness remains intact after natural thawing for 3 hours, so please keep that in mind.

 

1. Remove the mud from the splint and leg, as well as any slippery foreign substances.
2. Hold the head and turn it over, then cut between the thin membrane of the internal organs with scissors to separate the organs.
3. Gills, remove the eyes with scissors.
4. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and coarse salt, then rub vigorously and sweep with your hand to remove surface impurities. Since they are aquatic creatures living in water, it is important to thoroughly remove any water stains.
5. If you rinse it several times with clean water, you can see that the color becomes one shade brighter.

Healthy recipe using octopus - Octopus and pumpkin soup

 

1. Use the boiled octopus broth as it is.
2. Season with soy sauce made from fermented soybeans.
3. Prepare the pumpkin by peeling it. The seeds and flesh of the young pumpkin are soft and nutritious, so they can be used without waste.
4. Slice the green chili peppers, red chili peppers, and large green onions diagonally. If dried radish greens are not available, you can also add lettuce and bok choy like this.

5. Add the unripe pumpkin, red chili pepper, green chili pepper, green onion, and minced garlic, and bring to a boil just once.

6. If you boil it for a long time, the ingredients become soft. Since the ingredients are soft, turn off the heat after boiling just once.

7. Put the sliced octopus back in. If you boil the octopus for a long time, it becomes tough like other seafood, so remove it and add it back at the end.

Octopus and pumpkin soup can be easily prepared together.

It's good to prepare for guests and also great for a hearty meal with family.

I recommend a hearty meal with spring octopus.
