Takoyaki Ingredients

Method

Takoyaki Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, dashi stock, and egg until smooth.

  2. 2

    Preheat Takoyaki Pan

    Heat the takoyaki pan on medium heat and grease the molds with oil.

  3. 3

    Pour the Batter

    Pour the batter into each mold, filling them about 3/4 full.

  4. 4

    Add Fillings

    Place a small amount of diced octopus, green onions, and pickled ginger into each mold.

  5. 5

    Cook and Flip

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then use skewers to flip the balls over to cook the other side.

  6. 6

    Finish Cooking

    Continue cooking until all sides are golden brown and the balls are cooked through, about another 3-4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the takoyaki from the pan and drizzle with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise. Sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori on top before serving.
