80%Tako means octopus in Japanese, and takoyaki are known as octopus balls. Takoyaki venders are very popular in Japan. To make takoyaki, a cast iron or electric takoyaki pan with many half-spherical molds is used.
Ingredients:
- 1 2/3 cup flour
- 2 1/2 cup dashi soup
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 lb. boiled octopus, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup chopped benishoga (pickled red ginger)
- 1/4 cup dried sakura ebi (red shrimp) optional
For toppings:
- katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
- aonori (green seaweed powder)
- Worcestershire sauce or takoyaki sauce
- mayonnaise
Directions:
- Mix flour, dashi soup, and eggs in a bowl to make batter.
- Thickness of the batter should be like potage soup.
- Preheat a takoyaki pan and grease the molds.
- Pour batter into the molds to the full. Put octopus, red ginger, green onion, and dried red shrimp in each mold.
- Grill takoyaki balls, flipping with a pick to make balls. When browned, remove takoyaki from the pan and place on a plate.
- Put sauce and mayonnaise on top and sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori over.
