Ingredients
- 1 cup Takoyaki Flour
- 500 ml Water
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup Boiled octopus cut into cubes
- ⅓ cup Panko breadcrumbs or Tenkasu
- 1 tsp patis (fish sauce)
- Green onions (optional)
- Nori flakes (optional)
- Mayonnaise (as required)
- Takoyaki sauce (as required)
Instructions
- Preheat and grease a Takoyaki pan.
- Combine Takoyaki flour with the egg and water to create a batter. Once you reach a homogenous consistency, transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle, piping bag, etc as per convenience.
- Mix the filling ingredients together, the octopus with fish sauce and if you have it, the green onions cut into small pieces and the nori flakes as well.
- Pour batter into the mold up to the brim. Add in the filling immediately (the octopus).
- While the batter is slightly cooked, but moldable mold it into the shape of a ball until the ball is brown. With a designated takoyaki maker this is easily done by turning the balls in the round holes.
- Transfer the balls once they're brown all around into a dish. You can top with your favorite toppings, serve it with your favorite condiments and you're done!
