Homemade Takoyaki Sauce

Make my easy Takoyaki Sauce recipe from scratch for a taste that‘s close to Otafuku‘s famous takoyaki sauce. This sweet, tangy, and savory sauce is so delicious drizzled over Takoyaki, the crunchy Japanese grilled octopus balls!

Ingredients

Servings

Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp mentsuyu (concentrated noodle soup base), ¾ tsp sugar, and ½ tsp ketchup. Whisk it all together. Adjust the taste according to your liking. Tip: Some ketchup is sweeter than others, so please adjust the amount of sugar. Likewise, I use Japanese brand Bull-dog Worcestershire sauce (Usuta-so-su, ウスターソース), which is milder and less sour than Lea & Perrins brand, so adjust the seasoning depending on the brand you use.

To Serve

  1. Try this sauce drizzled over hot and delicious Takoyaki (Grilled Octopus Balls)!
