Heat up a non stick pan with a tablespoon of oil and add the sauce made from step 1. Retain the bowl. In a separate pan, fry onions garlic and ginger for 1-2 minute in low-medium heat. Add the spring onions, red and green peppers. Turn heat to high. Add the sauce and the octopus and cook for 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, mix 1 tsp of corn flour or sweet potato flour with 3-4 tbsp water and add to the stir fry. Mix well and plate up! Finish with some toasted sesame seeds.
