Step 1

Use a small sharp knife to cut the baby octopus heads from the tentacles, just below eyes. Cut eyes from the heads and discard. Cut the tentacles in half.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add half the octopus and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until just cooked. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining octopus, reheating the pan between batches.

Step 3

Add the garlic, chilli and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the broccolini and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until just tender. Add the tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce and sugar and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce boils and thickens. Add the octopus and stir-fry for 1 minute or until heated through.

Step 4

Spoon the rice among serving bowls. Top with the octopus stir-fry and serve immediately.
