Easy takoyaki made in a frying pan.
Crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside—delicious!
Steaming makes it fluffy.

Recipe background:
I saw something similar in the flour section at the supermarket and decided to make my own version.

Steps

1

Slice the green onion thinly. Cut the octopus and cabbage into small dice (about the size of dice).
2

Mix all the ☆ ingredients together to make the batter.
3

Heat vegetable oil in a tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) pan. Pour in half the batter, then add all the ★ ingredients on top. When the edges start to bubble, pour in the remaining batter.
4

When the batter starts to set, fold it in half. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip it over. Cover with a lid and steam over low heat for 5 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
5

Remove the lid and cook both sides over medium heat until crispy.
6

Once the surface is golden and fragrant, transfer to a plate and top with takoyaki sauce, bonito flakes, and aonori as desired.
