Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, dashi stock, egg, and soy sauce until a smooth batter forms.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure there are no lumps in the batter for a smooth texture.
- 2
Heat a takoyaki pan over medium heat and brush each well generously with vegetable oil.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: A well-oiled pan prevents sticking and helps create a crispy exterior.
- 3
Pour the batter into each well, filling them almost to the brim.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 4
Immediately add one piece of boiled octopus, some green onion, pickled red ginger, and tenkasu into each well.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Work quickly before the batter sets too much.
- 5
After a few minutes, when the edges of the batter firm up, use a skewer or chopstick to separate the batter around each well. Begin to turn each ball 90 degrees so the uncooked batter spills into the pan.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: This technique helps create perfectly spherical takoyaki.
- 6
Continue turning the takoyaki every minute or so, rotating them completely to cook all sides evenly until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes total.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: The more you turn them, the rounder and crispier they will become.
- 7
Remove the cooked takoyaki from the pan and transfer them to a serving plate.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 8
Drizzle generously with takoyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: You can use a squeeze bottle for a neat presentation with the mayonnaise.
- 9
Garnish with katsuobushi and aonori, if using, and serve immediately.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: The katsuobushi will 'dance' from the heat of the takoyaki, which is a fun visual!
Tazeliğini koruyun
Store leftover takoyaki in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through.
