Cooking Instructions
- 1
First! Prepare the batter the night before and let it rest overnight for the best results! It will have a very smooth texture!
- 2
[Batter]↓
- 3
In a large bowl, add 100 ml of the water, eggs, dashi stock powder, and soy sauce, and mix well with a whisk.
- 4
Add the takoyaki flour and mix well to avoid lumps. (If you have time, sift the flour. It's okay if you don't sift it; I don't!)
- 5
If you mix well here, you won't have lumps even if you don't sift the flour! The batter will be slightly softer than pancake batter.
- 6
While mixing, gradually add the remaining 800 ml of water.
- 7
Mix well to complete the batter. (If there are lumps on the surface, scoop them out with a ladle and discard them; don't worry too much about it.)
- 8
☆ Tip ☆ Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator overnight!
- 9
☆☆ If you're in a hurry, let it rest in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. If you're in a real rush, you can use it immediately!
- 10
[Filling]↓
- 11
Lightly rinse the octopus with water, pat dry, and cut into 1 cm cubes.
- 12
[Cooking]↓
- 13
First, mix the rested batter well as the flour settles at the bottom. Mix well each time before cooking.
- 14
Heat the griddle and grease the holes and surface with salad oil. (Even with a non-stick surface, always grease it! This is the secret to deliciousness!)
- 15
Next, add about half a teaspoon of tempura bits to each hole. (Adding them before the batter makes them fragrant and releases oil, enhancing the flavor!)
- 16
Then, pour the well-mixed batter into the holes until full. (Add enough so that it overflows when you add the octopus!)
- 17
Place one piece of octopus in each hole.
- 18
As the batter overflows, push it back into the holes while turning them. (Use a cooking needle for a metal griddle, and a bamboo skewer for non-stick!)
- 19
Turn them frequently until they become a deep golden brown, then remove them to a plate and add your choice of toppings!
- 20
☆ Recommended ☆ Sprinkle a little salt, and enjoy the takoyaki with mayonnaise and aonori to savor the batter's flavor!
- 21
(❀ฺ´∀`❀ฺ)ノ Make a lot, wrap them in plastic wrap, and freeze them! You can microwave them to eat later! If eating the next day, refrigerate them!

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 cookpad.japan -

Make takoyaki using leftover bread flour from baking bread! The result is a bit chewier than when using all-purpose flour.Recipe background:This batter is quite runny. The amount of water listed works well for my husband, who is from Osaka and skilled at making takoyaki. I personally have trouble flipping them with such a thin batter.

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 cookpad.japan -
