Ingredients
Takoyaki is a popular Japanese snack that is often sold in street stalls, as well as in restaurants. The dish is made of wheat-flour based batter cooked in a special pan and filled with pieces of octopus, green onion, and pickled ginger, and then topped with a variety of sauces and condiments. Here are the ingredients needed for this Takoyaki recipe without Dashi:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- 1/2 cup chopped octopus
- 1/2 cup pickled ginger
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the water and eggs together until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not over mix. Add the green onion, octopus, and pickled ginger and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick and sticky.
Heat a Takoyaki pan or a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, use a ladle or spoon to add the batter to the pan. Cook each side of the Takoyaki for a few minutes until golden brown. Then use a Takoyaki pick to flip the Takoyaki over and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
