Takoyaki Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and dashi stock, whisking until smooth. Add the eggs and mix well.

  2. 2

    Add fillings

    Fold in the diced octopus, chopped green onions, and pickled ginger into the batter.

  3. 3

    Preheat Takoyaki pan

    Heat a Takoyaki pan over medium heat and grease the molds with cooking oil.

  4. 4

    Cook Takoyaki

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

  5. 5

    Turn the Takoyaki

    Using a skewer or a fork, turn the balls a quarter turn. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, turning them until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the Takoyaki from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce and Japanese mayonnaise, then sprinkle with bonito flakes and shredded nori. Serve hot.
