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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Here are the filling ingredients. Refer tofor the chicken soup stock.

- 2
Chop the octopus into bite-sized chunks (about 1 to 1.5 cm cubes). They will shrink when cooked, so chop them larger than you think they need to be. Each piece should weight about 4 to 5 g.
- 3
Finely chop the green onion and finely mince the ginger.
- 4
This recipe uses an extravagant amount of chicken stock. It must be well chilled for use. Prepare it in advance and chill in the refrigerator.
- 5
Combine all of the powdered ingredients except for the baking powder, add the chicken stock and beaten egg and mix well. The egg should be thoroughly beaten so that the egg white is well incorporated.
- 6
Lumps in the batter will make it floury, so use a sieve to strain in the powdered ingredients. Let the batter sit for about 1 hour.
- 7
In order to grill with efficiency, set all the ingredients around the griddle, and heat the griddle at the highest setting.
- 8
Place your hand over the griddle to test the temperature, then coat with a generous amount of oil. Thoroughly mix the baking powder into the batter.
- 9
Pour the batter into the griddle. Sprinkle on the beni-shoga, green onions, and tempura crumbs. Fill the griddle full with the batter. The griddle should be turned up to the highest setting.
- 10
Fill any holes in the takoyaki with the surrounding batter cooked on the sides, and shape into round balls. The exterior should be browned to a crisp, and the insides should be steam cooked. Reduce to medium heat.
- 11
Takoyaki griddles for home use do not cook evenly, so I recommend shifting them around among different pockets until each of them are crisp and golden. The juice from the octopus will make the insides creamy.
- 12
When finished grilling, transfer to a serving dish, then carefully brush on the special sweet sauce.
- 13
Drizzle on mayonnaise, sprinkle with aonori seaweed and bonito flakes, then your amazing takoyaki are ready! Eat 'em up while they're hot!
- 14
I use this cheap plastic squeeze bottle container for the mayonnaise. Add milk and yogurt to your mayo for an even more delicious mixture (milk and yogurt should come out to about 10% of the resulting sauce).
- 15
- 16
Homemade tempura crumbs are cheap and tasty to make.

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 -

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 -
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 -

I recalled the flavor of a Korean restaurant that I used to go to. After many tries of trying to find the right combination, I finally found it. By omitting eggs from the recipe, I was able to make restaurant-quality chijimi.If adding seafood, try with squid.After pouring in the mixture with the vegetables into the frying pan, use long chopsticks to spread it out before it hardens.Fry it slowly on medium-high heat using about 2 tablespoons of sesame oil until golden brown.You can choose between sauce 1) or 2).If you have a large bundle of chives, just use half.

Fluffy Kansai-style Okonomiyaki with Cabbage and Nagaimo Yam Fluffy Kansai-style Okonomiyaki with Cabbage and Nagaimo Yam
I don't know how many times I've altered recipes to make the best okonomiyaki for my husband who's a huge fan... I've changed around the amount of batter, how to cut the cabbage and what to use for seasonings...I finally settled down on this recipe, because my husband told me that this was delicious.-To keep the moisture of the cabbage from mixing with the batter, roughly julienne the cabbage into thin but short matchstick-like pieces.-Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on thinly sliced pork belly. Wipe away excess oil that seeps out from the meat with paper towels.-Cook slowly so that you can enjoy the natural sweetness of the cabbage.-Yamaimo yams make the batter too sticky, so use nagaimo yam, which contains more moisture.
