Tap an ingredient or step to check it off.

1. 1Step 1: In a large bowl, mix well Dashi, eggs, soy sauce, salt, and flour with a whisk.
2. 2Step 2: Heat a Takoyaki pan with oil to very hot, just until the oil begins to smoke. Use enough oil to coat the pan using a paper towel so that the batter won't stick. Then pour batter to fill the holes of the pan.
3. 3Step 3: Drop octopus pieces in the batter in each hole, and sprinkle chopped green onions, ginger, and Tenkasu all over the pan.
4. 4Step 4: Cook at medium heat for 1-2 minutes and turn over using a Takoyaki turner (you can use a chopstick too). It can be a little tricky at first, so watch the video to see the technique. Cook another 3-4 minutes, turning constantly.
5. 5Step 5: Place the cooked Takoyaki on a plate and pour Takoyaki sauce and mayo over them (to taste). Finish the dish by sprinkling the Takoyaki with Aonori (green dried seaweed) and Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes).
