Preparation
For the octopus
Cut octopus tentacle into manageable lengths. Pour a generous amount of oil into a deep saucepan, drop in garlic, chillies and eschalots to infuse while oil is heating.
Once the oil is sizzling and fragrant, drop in the tentacle pieces. Halve the lemon, squeeze the juice into oil and drop in each half of remaining lemon with bay leaves and sprigs of fresh thyme.
Turn heat to low, part cover to allow steam to escape.
Cook until octopus is tender, for about two hours.
Set aside to cool.
For the whiting
Remove any bones from fish fillets and construct rolls by lying fillets on plastic wrap head to toe to form a rectangular shape.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, chervil leaf, lay spring onion in the middle and spoon over radish.
Places slices of octopus over the spring onion. Roll and cover with cling wrap. Rest for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
Slice fillet roll in half then remove plastic wrap and steam rolls at very low heat over a large saucepan for about 10 – 15 minutes. Test, slice into discs to serve.
For the sauce
Slice oyster mushroom thinly, cook till soft in hot melted butter flavoured with roughly chopped ginger, galangal and garlic. Remove and set aside.
In the same butter, cook sliced pine mushrooms. Add a splash of dry sherry, the left-over stock from the braised spring onions and little more chicken stock
Add rape leaf and wilt, then broad beans and warm through.
To serve
Slice whiting rolls into thick discs, one per serve. Place cooked oyster mushroom slice next to it and spoon sauce of pine mushrooms, rape and broad beans over rolls.
