Japanese cuisine is famous for its distinct and unique tastes. It is not surprising then that Japan has also developed a unique snack food called Takoyaki.
This is a Japanese pancake that is made of flour batter and egg batter. It’s a round ball shape of fried wheat flour. Takoyaki contains octopus, green onion and ginger soup stock. It’s usually served with Takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise and aonori (dried seaweed) and make by using Takoyaki machine.
If you’re not familiar with Takoyaki, it’s a Japanese snack that’s usually described as a ball of octopus and batter. It tastes good, but is more fun to make than to eat. What makes the Takoyaki so much fun is that the dough contains tiny balls of tempura batter. So when you pour the batter into the hot pan, it starts cooking right away. As the balls of tempura cook and rise, they push up their neighbors, which in turn push up their neighbors. The result is a pile of little globes all pushing upward like yeast dough in a warm oven.
The first step of making a Takoyaki is to make the dough. It is important to know the ingredients used in making the Takoyaki before you start cooking. The flour batter is prepared from wheat flour and water. The egg batter is made of eggs and salt. Some people prefer to use potato starch instead of flour for the flour batter. The amount of flour used depends upon the thickness of the batter. The thicker the batter, the more flour will be required. If the batter is too thin, it will be difficult to cook the Takoyaki properly. Put them into a bowl and mix them gently by chopsticks or whisk. If you have an electric mixer, you can use that instead. You should mix the ingredients in order they don’t get lumpy.

After the dough is made, it should be smooth and sticky but not too runny like water. Then put the dough into the Takoyaki machine and leave it for 4 minutes until all the balls become half-baked.
