Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 450 ml Dashi stock
- 2 large Egg
- 150 grams Boiled octopus
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 20 grams Pickled ginger
- 30 grams Tempura scraps (tenkasu)
- 100 ml Teriyaki sauce
- 50 ml Japanese mayonnaise
- 20 grams Katsuobushi (bonito flakes)
- 1 teaspoon Aonori (dried green seaweed)
- 4 pieces Boiled egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, dashi stock, and two eggs until you have a smooth batter.
Chop the boiled octopus into small, bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the green onions and chop the pickled ginger.
Preheat a takoyaki pan over medium heat and lightly grease each well with vegetable oil using a brush or paper towel.
Pour the batter into each well of the pan, filling them to the brim.
Place a piece of octopus into each well, along with a sprinkle of green onion, pickled ginger, and a few tempura scraps.
Once the edges begin to cook, rotate each ball 90 degrees using skewers or chopsticks. This allows the uncooked batter to pour out and form a ball shape.
Continue to rotate the takoyaki every 1 to 2 minutes as they cook, ensuring an even, golden-brown color on all sides. This should take around 7-10 minutes.
Remove the takoyaki from the pan and transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle teriyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise generously over the takoyaki.
Top with a sprinkle of katsuobushi and aonori for added flavor.
Halve the boiled eggs and place a half on top of each portion of the takoyaki.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoy your Teritama Takoyaki!
