Mini Omurice Takoyaki Balls Recipe
Ingredients
- 1½ egg
- 150 ml water
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 20 cc milk
- 50 gram rice cooked
- 1 tsp ketchup
- 4 mini sausages
Instructions
- Combine the water, ketchup, milk, and eggs in a small mixing bowl and mix them thoroughly.
- Once you’ve made the batter mix, then pour it into the takoyaki molds and start cooking them.
- After 2 minutes add the mini sausages, cooked rice, salt, and pepper to the batter in the takoyaki pan.
- Pour more batter to cover the added ingredients until it reaches the brim of the pan holes and overflows a bit.
- Flip the takoyaki once the bottoms have dried until they get that golden-brownish color (this means they are ready to be eaten).
- Once cooked, place the takoyaki balls in a clean dry serving plate, pour the takoyaki sauce and then serve.
Cooking tips
If you’re using a takoyaki maker, be sure to preheat it before adding any batter. Add a little oil to the wells and let it heat up for a minute or so before adding your batter. This will help ensure that your mini omurice balls cook evenly and don’t stick to the maker.
If you don’t have a takoyaki maker, you can use a regular muffin tin or even a mini muffin tin. Just be sure to oil the wells well before adding your batter.
To get the perfect omurice ball, be sure to pack the rice tightly into the batter. This will help it hold together and not fall apart when you’re flipping them in the takoyaki maker.
How to serve and eat mini omurice
These mini omurice takoyaki balls are best served hot, straight out of the takoyaki maker. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
These mini omurice takoyaki balls make a great appetizer or snack. They’re also perfect for parties or potlucks. Just be sure to make enough, because they’re sure to be a hit!
