Takoyaki (たこ焼き) is one of the Japanese's best known stress food. It's Japanese snack in ball shape contains pieces of octopus. Some people may call it “Octopus Balls” or “Octopus Dumplings”. It is usually served with takoyaki sauce, which goes well with beer and other alcoholic drinks. Guess that's why many Izakaya restaurants serve takoyaki on the menu.
There are so many variations of takoyaki throughout Japan. For example, the original Osaka-style does not include any cabbage, but many regional variations (Kyoto, Kobe, Tokyo areas) do. Apart from using traditional octopus filling, sometime I use cheese, sausage, mochi, lettuce or even kimchi to replace it. Try it on, I promise it won't disappointed you.

Toppings:
Takoyaki sauce (sometime I use Okonomi sauce which gives a pretty good flavour as well)
Japanese mayonnaise (Kewipe mayonnaise)
Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
Aonori (dried green seaweed powder/flake)

Ingredients and spices that need to be Take to make Takoyaki:

1. Toppings are listed above
2. 1 tbsp Pickled red ginger
3. 15 g tempura scraps
4. 1/3 cup lettuce
5. 1 cup all-purpose flour
6. 1/4 green onion
7. 2 tsps baking powder
8. 170 g cooked octopus
9. 1/2 tsp salt
10. 2 eggs
11. 1 tsp soy sauce
12. 370 ml dashi
13. 7 g Katsuobushi powder (if you are using Katsuobushi, grind it into fine powder.)
14. Oil for brushing the grill

Steps to make to make Takoyaki

1. Cut the lettuce (if you are using), red ginger, and green onion into finest small pieces.
2. Chop the cooked octopus into small chucks/ bite size.
3. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl and give a goos stir to combine all together.
4. Add the eggs, dashi, and soy sauce in the bowl. Whisk all together until well-blended.
5. Transfer the batter to a measuring cup or any other pitcher with a spout for easy pouring. (If you don't have any of these, use a large spoon to pour the batter to the grill pan)
6. Heat the takoyaki pan over medium heat. Generously brush the oil on the whole takoyaki pan, for both holes and flat areas. When you see smoke coming from the pan, pour the batter to fill the holes and slightly overflow the holes.
7. Add 1-2 octopus pieces in each hole depending on its size and sprinkle dried bonito flakes powder on top. Then sprinkle the green onion, red ginger, lettuce, and tempura scraps.
8. Once you add all the fillings, see if the flat areas of the pan is covered with batter or not. If not, pour a little more just about to cover the whole pan, but not too much/ too thick layer.
9. After 1-2 minutes later, or when the bottom of the balls have hardened and firmed slightly, break the connected batter between each ball with skewers/ takoyaki picks. Then turn each ball a 90 degrees, and start stuffing the edges/ extra batter as you are turing.
10. The uncooked batter should now flow out from the inside of each takoyaki ball and creates the other side of the ball. Wait until the bottom parts are set again, turn the ball again. Repeat the turn and stuff process until all the batter is stuffed to form a ball shape. The key to create a nice round shape is to keep turning constantly.
11. Once it's rounded and browned, transfer the takoyaki balls onto a serving plate and pour the takoyaki sauce, then mayonnaise. Finish off with sprinkling dried bonito flakes (not powder form) and dried green seaweed powder. Serve immediately, enjoy.
