Takoyaki Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and dashi stock. Whisk until smooth. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add Fillings

    Fold in the chopped octopus, green onions, shredded cabbage, tenkasu, and beni shoga into the batter.

  3. 3

    Preheat Takoyaki Pan

    Heat a takoyaki pan over medium heat and brush the wells with vegetable oil.

  4. 4

    Cook Takoyaki Balls

    Pour the batter into each well, filling them about 3/4 full. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

  5. 5

    Turn the Balls

    Using a skewer or chopsticks, turn the balls 90 degrees to allow the uncooked batter to flow into the wells. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the takoyaki from the pan and place on a plate. Drizzle with takoyaki sauce and kewpie mayo, then sprinkle with nori powder and bonito flakes before serving.
