Step 1
Slice the 1 medium onion and 1 medium carrot into thin strips. Cut the 1 lb octopus into bite-size pieces. Chop the 4 scallions, separating white and green parts.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine 4 cups water, 2 tbsp gochujang, and 1 tbsp gochugaru. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the paste dissolves, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the onion, carrot, and white parts of the scallions. Boil until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the octopus and cook until just tender and opaque, about 5-7 minutes. The broth should be bubbling and slightly thickened.
Step 5
Ladle into bowls and garnish with the green scallion parts. Serve hot.
