Share:
Ingredients
- 1cup/100g flour *1
- 1 egg
- 1.25cup/300ml dashi stock *1
- 1.8oz/50g cooked octopus
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup tenkasu
- 2 tbsp red pickled ginger
- 2 tbsp takoyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp seaweed flake to top
- 2 tbsp bonito flake to top
Instructions
- Combine water, egg and dashi stock together in a bowl and mix well until frothy.
- Sift the plain flour into a large bowl and add the liquid mixture over the flour.
- Whisk them together well until all the dry flour is completely mixed in.
- Heat the takoyaki pan and oil the holes with the oil brush. *2
- Pour the batter into the pan holes so they are approximately 80% full and then add the octopus, green onion, tempura crisps and pickled ginger .Then add more of the batter until it's just overflowing.
- Cook for approximately 1 & 1/2 minutes, then trim off the excess batter and flip them over by inserting the Takoyaki pick from 4 o'clock direction, turn your wrist 90°.
- Keep flipping them around until the takoyaki are a golden-brown color. *3
- When all balls outside are crispy golden brown, turn the heat off.
- Serve them on a plate and coat with the Takoyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise then sprinkle with aonori and bonito flakes to serve.
Notes
- *1 If you use commercial premixed flour for Takoyaki, you only need to replace dashi stock with water.
- *2 If you don't have the oil brush, use scrunched kitchen paper towel.
- *3 Continuously flipping them around makes the outside golden and crispy.
- *Nutritional value is per one octopus ball.
- * If you don't have Takoyaki sauce, you can use my Yakisoba sauce recipe and add 1 tbsp of honey.
- * If you are unable to find bonito flakes and seaweed flakes, you can eat without.
- *I used special flour made for making Takoyaki. It is a little bit like pre mixed flour which contains dashi stock powder. That's why in the photos and the recipe video, I used water instead of dashi stock. It is usually difficult to find this kind of special flour. If you used plain flour, use dashi stock to mix.
