Takoyaki - Octopus Balls Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put 2 1/4 cups water into a microwave-safe container and then into the Microwave on High for 3 minutes. (the excess will boil off)
  • Take your now REALLY HOT water out and put in the Fish Bouillon Cube. Tease it as necessary to make it dissolve completely.
  • Place your Octopus in another microwave-safe bowl with enough water to cover it along with 1 tsp Olive Oil and 1 tsp Sea Salt.
  • Cook that in the Microwave for 6 minutes on High.
  • Wash and chop up your Green Onions. Drain and chop up your Shoga.
  • Drain and let cool slightly your Octopus. When cool, chop into small pieces 1/2 to 1/4 inches long.
  • Heat up your Pan on Med High - High heat.
  • Stir in your wet ingredients (Eggs, Dashi, Mirin, Oil) to the flour then everything else. The consistency will be similar to pancake batter. Kinda watery with no clumps of flour.
  • Everyone seems to find their own technique on turning the batter into balls. It's difficult, at best, to create perfect spheres. I only sprayed down my pan for the first batch and it did fine for the rest without re-application.
  • Good luck!!!
