Thank you for making this recipe number one! Enjoy delicious takoyaki at home. Since using this recipe, I haven't bought mix powder! It's approved by my Osaka-born husband. I love takoyaki. The takoyaki from Yamachan in Osaka was so delicious. You can make that fluffy and soft takoyaki at home without buying mix powder! It's an easy recipe with simple ingredients. The little bit of soy sauce adds a nice aroma. So delicious (^ ^)♪

Steps

1

① Make the batter. Combine the all-purpose flour, ice-cold water, egg, dashi granules, soy sauce, and salt. Mix with a whisk.
2

② Refrigerate. Strain the batter twice through a sieve. Let it rest in the refrigerator for half a day to overnight. If in a hurry, proceed to the cooking step.
3

③ Prepare for cooking. Heat the takoyaki plate and lightly oil it (oil not included in ingredients). Whisk the batter again to ensure it's well mixed.
4

④ Cook. Pour all the batter into the plate, add the octopus, minced pickled ginger, tempura bits, etc. Cook on high heat.
5

⑤ Prepare to shape. Use a takoyaki pick to divide into 24 sections, and tuck any overflow back into the balls.
6

⑥ Shape. Once one side is cooked, flip them over to form balls. Cook until fully done.
7

⑦ Finish. Once cooked, place on a serving dish (or plate if you don't have a boat-shaped dish) and top with sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and aonori. Enjoy.
