Tako Tacos

The inspiration for this came from always seeing, but not ordering tako poke when I order my ahi poke... And the fun name! In this recipe I used tako poke / already marinated octopus, as I figured they've already added some spices that will taste good. I used rice and some cabbage for some diversity of textures. And added additional spices and soy sauce to taste. This is good when the rice is warm, but other items are cold.

Ingredients:

Taco shells
Chuka iidako (whole baby octopus)
Tako poke
Spicy tako poke
Shoyu soy sauce
Nori Komi furikake
Ichimi togarashi
Seaweed
White rice
Brown rice
Shredded cabbage

Directions:
Place all ingredients in separate containers and build your tako taco to your liking. Add seasonings as needed. Enjoy!
