Octopus, cooked

In a mixing bowl combine the all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the eggs, low sodium soy sauce, and dashi broth. Mix to combine.

120 g All Purpose Flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Salt

2 Large Eggs

1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce

1 ½ cups Dashi Broth

Heat your takoyaki pan over a medium high heat with some vegetable oil, making sure that each hole is coated.

Add your batter and make sure every hole is filled before adding your primary fillings (octopus, baby shrimp, sweet corn, edamame or kimchi) right in the middle. Cover all batter with a sprinkling of bonito flakes, red pickled ginger, and tenkasu.

Using a pair of chopsticks, get under each takoyaki and rotate about 90°, and then add some more supplemental batter to help them become more spherical.

Flip the whole thing over being sure to tuck all the batter and bits in. Continue to turn and tuck until all the little bits until they are all round, golden brown, and crispy.

Add to a plate and top with okonomiyaki sauce, japanese mayo, aonori, and bonito flakes.
