Cooking Steps
Prepare the batter: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the dashi stock and beaten egg until you achieve a smooth, runny batter, resembling a pancake mix.
Heat the pan: Lightly grease your takoyaki pan and place it over medium heat. Allow it to get hot—this is crucial for creating that crispy exterior.
Fill the moulds: Pour the batter into each mould, filling them about 3/4 full. Gently add a piece of cooked octopus, a slice of pickled ginger, some tenkasu, and a sprinkle of green onions into each ball.
Cook the takoyaki: As the edges begin to set (after about 2 minutes), use a skewer to turn each ball 90 degrees. Keep turning every 1-2 minutes for around 7-10 minutes until they are beautifully golden brown and cook through.
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the takoyaki from the pan while they are still warm. Drizzle generously with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise, then finish with a sprinkle of aonori and bonito flakes.
