Steps

1

Mash the hanpen in its package with your hands.
2

Finely chop the pickled ginger and green onions. Cut the octopus into 1/2-inch pieces (for 16 pieces).
3

In a large bowl, combine the mashed hanpen with the ☆ ingredients and mix well. Add the ★ ingredients and mix further, mashing the hanpen with the back of a spoon.
4

Divide the mixture into 16 portions. Wet your hands slightly, take a portion, press it flat, place a piece of octopus in the center, and roll it into a ball.
5

Shape them into round balls like this.
6

Heat oil (not listed in ingredients) in a frying pan and cook the balls, rolling them with a spoon for even cooking.
7

Once they are nicely browned, they are done!
8

Your mock takoyaki is ready! They are delicious as is, but feel free to enjoy them with sauce or mayo.

Note added on 10/21/2011: If you don't have octopus, you can use small pieces of chikuwa for a similar texture. It's a fun trick!
