The Takoyaki

Very famous in Giapone as a snack but completely unknown to us, Takoyaki are a sort of spherical pancakes filled with octopus, I admit I have cooked and eaten many of them.

For the preparation of Takoyaki you will need the plate you can also find it online!

Ingredients for 2 people. 

• Eggs 2
• White flour 00 200g
• Water 400ml
• Octopus 120g

For garnish:

• Mayonnaise
• Takoyachi or otafuko sauce
• Dehydrated algae Aosa or Anori
• Tuna (bonito) dried in slices 

Procedure:

In a bowl we prepare the batter, break 2 eggs, add 400ml of water and 200g of flour and beat with a whisk to obtain a fluid and homogeneous mixture.

In the meantime boil the octopus in a pot of salted water once cooked and let it cool, cut it into cubes of one centimetre on each side.

We turn on the electric takoyaki plate and with a kitchen brush and some seed oil we oil all the spherical recesses where we will put our batter.

With a ladle we fill up to the brim the hollow and place a cube of octopus in the middle of it, now with the help of a spit or stick we move from its position the goal of takoyaki making a quarter of space to add a little new batter, repeat this operation until we have made a complete turn to each takoyaki and always adding some batter.

Once cooked we season with mayonnaise and sauce for takoyaki, dried tuna.
