MY HOMEMADE TAKOYAKI 🤤

Hey Zestyz!

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION..... takoyakis at pasar malam, they don't taste as great anymore??? I feel that back then, they were tasty? Hahaha! And we shall not talk about the price. 😮‍💨 some balls had no fillings too. Some were made really hard to chew and very bland. Fillings were also very tiny!!!!!! 🫠

WHICH IS WHY I DECIDED TO TRY THESE AT HOME MYSELF AND IT WAS WORTH IT. Crispy outside and soft inside! This version is the basic version ah. Not like those you could have at Japan itself lol!

✨ TAKOYAKI RECIPE ✨

- 2 cups All purpose flour/ plain flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 2 eggs

- 3 cups of water

- salt (as much as needed)

- chicken cube stock (i used only half of the cube)

- your preferred choice of fillings! (ham, sausages, crabmeat, octopus etc)

- bonito flakes (bought mine at bake with yen)

- kewpie mayo and takoyaki sauce

✨ HOW? ✨

- MIX THE FLOUR TOGETHER WITH WET AND DRY INGREDIENTS

- PREP ALL THE FILLINGS. Cut up the fillings and make sure you have everything at the ready: a little dish of oil, all your ingredients, some skewers to flip the balls, and a plate to serve on. Heat up the takoyaki pan.

- POUR AND FILL. Generously oil the pan with a brush or a paper towel dipped in oil. Give the batter a whisk then pour into the individual compartments all the way up to the top. It’s okay if they overflow a bit. Add in the fillings and let cook until the edges start to look more solid and opaque.

- FLIP. You should have a round ball. Cook until the balls are crispy and brown, moving the balls around from mold to mold to evenly cook (this is because most pans will have uneven heating). As the balls crisp up, it will be easier to flip them.

- SAUCE . When the balls are golden and crisp, pop them on a plate and brush with takoyaki sauce and squeeze on some mayo. Finish with a sprinkle of bonito flakes! Enjoyyyy ur homemade takoyakis!

PS: i forget how many balls this recipe makes.

: you can buy your takoyaki pan at Shopee!
