In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Beat two eggs in a separate bowl. Add unsweetened almond milk and dashi powder to the eggs, then whisk to combine.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Grease a takoyaki pan with a small amount of oil and preheat it over medium heat.
Pour the batter into each well of the pan until about two-thirds full.
Add a small piece of cooked octopus or tofu into the center of each batter-filled well, followed by a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Fill each well with more batter to cover the filling. Allow the batter to cook for 2 minutes.
Use a skewer or chopsticks to gently turn each takoyaki ball 90 degrees. As they cook, keep turning them until they form evenly browned, crispy spheres.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, egg yolk, and coconut aminos to make the keto-friendly tamago mayo. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle the cooked takoyaki with the keto-friendly teriyaki sauce and tamago mayo.
Sprinkle bonito flakes (if using) and seaweed flakes on top before serving warm.
