Thread: Takoyaki Recipe

I think i already made it clear how much I love Japanese Food. This is one of them. Takoyaki is very popular in Japan especially during festivals.

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 dried sakura ebi (red shrimp)
1/4 cup chopped pickled red ginger

For toppings:

katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
aonori (green seaweed powder)
Worcestershire sauce or takoyaki sauce
mayonnaise

Preparation:

Mix flour, dashi soup, and eggs in a bowl to make batter. Thickness of the batter should be like potage soup. Put oil inside cups of a takoyaki grill pan. Pour batter into the cups to the full. Put octopus, red ginger, and green onion in each hole. Grill takoyaki balls, turning with a pick. When takoyaki become rounds and brown, remove them from the pan and place in a plate. Put sauce and mayonnaise on takoyaki and sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori on the top.
