Equipment

  • Takoyaki Machine

Ingredients
  

Takoyaki Flour Mixture:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cup of water
  • 1 tspn dashi powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • ½ cup Cabbage chopped

Filling:

  • Shrimp
  • Octopus
  • Squid
  • Crab Meat
  • Sausage

I like to top it off with japanese mayo, bull dog vegetable katsu sauce, and fish flakes/ bonito flakes.

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the dashi powder in the water. Then combine all ingredients and whisk.
  • Heat up your takoyaki pan with a drizzle of oil. Transfer batter into a measuring cup for easy pouring.
  • Pour in batter until each ball is filled, and slightly overflowing. Add in your choice of filling.
  • When the batter is sticking together, flip ¼ turn and use chopsticks to press any overflowing batter into the takoyaki ball.
  • Try to work quickly to ensure none of them burn.
  • Continue flipping until it is perfectly round and golden brown.
  • Serve with sauce and enjoy!
