Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix well Dashi, eggs, soy sauce, salt, and flour with a whisk.
2. Heat a Takoyaki pan with oil to very hot, just until the oil begins to smoke. Use enough oil to
coat the pan using a paper towel so that the batter won't stick. Then pour batter to fill the holes
of the pan.
3. Drop octopus pieces in the batter in each hole, and sprinkle chopped green onions and ginger
all over the pan.
4. Cook at medium heat for 1-2 minutes and turn over using a Takoyaki turner (you can use a
chopstick too). It can be a little tricky at first, so watch the video to see the technique. Cook
another 3-4 minutes, turning constantly.
5. Place the cooked Takoyaki on a plate and pour Takoyaki sauce and mayo over them (to taste).
Finish the dish by sprinkling the Takoyaki with Aonori (green dried seaweed) and Katsuobushi
(dried bonito flakes).
