Cooking Instructions
- 1
Beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in the grated yam. Gradually add the dashi stock, mixing in the flour a little at a time to avoid lumps.
- 2
Season the batter with soy sauce and mirin. Refrigerate the batter while preparing the fillings and oiling the takoyaki pan. Heat the pan thoroughly.
*For best results, let the batter rest overnight for a smoother texture. - 3
Once the pan is hot enough, add the octopus (it should sizzle) → pour in the batter until almost overflowing → add green onions, cabbage, and tempura scraps. Be generous with the fillings.

Crisp and Creamy Osaka-style Seafood Takoyaki Crisp and Creamy Osaka-style Seafood Takoyaki
It's alright not to completely wash your grill after you're done, a little grease will help you out when you make takoyaki again.You can also substitute beef gristle broth or bonito dashi soup for the chicken stock (if making stock is too cumbersome, use granulated dashi stock.)The batter separates easily, so mix it up well before pouring into the griddle.Don't scrub down the griddle too thoroughly after cooking. Simply wipe off the excess oil with paper towels, and wrap the griddle in newspaper. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Our Family's Osaka-Style Takoyaki with Creamy Insides Our Family's Osaka-Style Takoyaki with Creamy Insides
My husband is from the Kansai region and just loves takoyaki. I tried several times to recreate the ones we've had at a certain restaurant in Osaka, and after many experiments and frequent trips there to analyze their takoyaki, we came up with this recipe.The flavor of the dashi stock really comes through, and the insides are creamy. I was finally able to create our ideal takoyaki bites!Make the dashi stock in advance and chill it well. A rich flavored dashi is the key to the flavor of the takoyaki.If you want to make the insides very creamy, use 150 g of cake flour.To make the outsides extra crispy, use a generous amount of oil.If you add cabbage and sakura shrimp it will become an okonomiyaki, so we just use these 4 ingredients for the filling. For 42 takoyaki - 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Kichiri-monja -

From an Overseas Expat: Takoyaki by an Osaka Native From an Overseas Expat: Takoyaki by an Osaka Native
I live overseas, so I used to buy imported frozen takoyaki from Japan. But when I visited Japan, I bought a takoyaki maker and carried it back with me. I made my own takoyaki, recalling the ones I used to make growing up (I am from Osaka!) and created this recipe!!The key to making takoyaki that are crispy on the outside is to use plenty of oil!! Add fillings and toppings of your choice and have fun with these.I use bonito based dashi stock, but konbu based dashi stock is great too.The flour in the batter tends to sink to the bottom, so stir up the batter occasionally. For about 70 to 75 takoyaki. Recipe by noritarou -

Takoyaki is Japanese savory snack made from flour based batter and also called as a “Octopus Balls”. It’s usually a ball shaped filled with octopus. But since I don’t have octopus, this time I replace it with shrimp. To make this snack, requires a Takoyaki pan to make them into ball shape. All right, let’s move on to the recipe.

Packed with Nutrition: Takoyaki Packed with Nutrition: Takoyaki
I wanted to give my children nutritious takoyaki and came up with this recipe.If you use milk in the batter it becomes rather sweet, so that even if you add green onion or Chinese chives you won't taste their bitterness. If you pour a little oil over the takoyaki at the end, the surface will become very crispy. You can use chopped up wiener sausages, pork, or crabstick instead of the octopus. Chop the octopus very finely if you're giving the takoyaki to small children. For 4 servings, about 30 takoyaki. Recipe by Mikidon mama -
Okonomiyaki & Takoyaki Sauce Okonomiyaki & Takoyaki Sauce
Okonomiyaki and takoyaki are really fun and easy to make but don't you find that they're a bit plain if you don't cover them in the special sauce (Which happens to be really expensive)?With this recipe you can make the sauce really quickly and it tastes better than anything store-bought! In fact, I think you can make this sauce for less than 1/3 the shop price.This mixture should be 3 parts Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce to 1 part mentsuyu.My family like quite a sweet sauce so we add sugar.And my daughter loves adding ketchup.You can have lots of fun coming up with your own flavour. Using this recipe, I haven't had to buy sauce in around 10 years!! Recipe by Nozomikki- -
Sort-Of Okonomiyaki & Takoyaki Sauce Sort-Of Okonomiyaki & Takoyaki Sauce
Buying Otafuku sauce (a popular brand of okonomiyaku sauce) is expensive when living overseas, so I make okonomiyaki sauce myself.This sauce is a bit sweet, so for those of you who don't like that, reduce the amount of honey.If you add too much oyster sauce, then it will turn out different from the intended okonomiyaki/takoyaki sauce, so make sure not to add too much. For 1 large okonomiyaki, or 2 small. Recipe by noritarou
