In a large non-reacting deep bowl, non-metal if possible, mix the vinegar, ginger, onions and chili. Dump the diced octopus meat and mix all the ingredients.
Add in ground pepper and season with salt. Stir it once more and let stand for several minutes for the taste to fully develop. Adjust the seasonings accordingly.
Transfer in serving plates and serve with steamed rice. Better yet, enjoy it as an appetizer or pulutan with your friends over a bottle of your favorite drinks.
