Equipment

  • Frying Pan for Takoyaki / Takoyaki Cooker
  • Skewer

Ingredients
 
 

Takoyaki Batter

  • 130 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 pinches salt
  • 500 ml dashi should be cold
  • 1 egg, beaten

Ingredients

  • 150 g octopus, small bite size about 30-40 pieces
  • 6 tbsp tempura bits tenkasu / 天かす
  • 4 tbsp spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp red pickled ginger, finely chopped 紅生姜

Toppings

  • takoyaki sauce / okonomiyaki sauce
  • dried bonito flakes
  • mayonnaise
  • dried green seaweed flakes aonori / 青のり

Instructions
 

To Make Batter

  • Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix with a whisk.
  • Add a beaten egg.
  • Pour the cooled dashi broth into the powder in three separate portions and mix well.
  • The dough is silky because of its high water content. The flour will gradually sink, so mix it lightly with a ladle before using.

To Cook

  • For an electric grill for takoyaki, set the temperature to 200℃ or heat a takoyaki frying pan over medium heat. Coat the entire surface with vegetable oil of your choice. (If you put in enough oil to make a little pool, it will be like deep frying and will have a crunchy texture.)
  • When the plate or pan is hot enough, use a ladle to fill the holes with batter.
  • Add the octopus one by one, and sprinkle the spring onions, red pickled ginger, and tempura bits all over.
  • Add more batter so that it does not overflow the edge of the takoyaki pan.
  • Using a skewer, make a line between the holes and separate the dough.
  • Insert a skewer between the dough and the pan, rotate it along the edge, and turn it over. If the dough is too soft, wait a while.
  • If the dough protrudes from the hole, use a skewer to place it inside the hole. It is okay if the shape is distorted at this point. The shape will gradually become a beautiful circle. If the heat is too strong, turn it down.
  • Use a skewer to rotate and shape the takoyaki. If the heat is not evenly applied, switch the location of the takoyaki for even browning.
  • Place the takoyaki on a plate and cover with takoyaki sauce or okonomiyaki sauce. You can also use a brush to spread the sauce evenly. Top with mayonnaise, dried green seaweed flakes, and bonito flakes, as your choice.
