How to make TAKOYAKI (octopus balls) at home 〜たこ焼き〜 | easy Japanese home cooking recipe

[@katiemcdaniel3063]

I very much appreciate how you explain where all your dishes come from. Love the history and how simple you make everything seem.

[@ronanmorris2250]

Agree 100%. He is so informative and explanatory, but in a quick and no-nonsense way! ADHD heaven! LOL

[@80stime]

My son always order this dish in a Japanese restaurant we go to regularly. Now we know how it is made. Thank you for showing us how it’s done.

[@GyozaDevourer]

You’re welcome

Hi Taiji Thank you, for the “easy” recipe. I watched a couple of other KZbinrs, but your has the best description for the batter and how to actually cook it.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Taiji, I’m sorry that my thanks are so long overdue, but thank you very much for your recipe and tips. This is one of my son’s favorite foods, and so I wanted to make it at home since freshly made is always best. I have to admit I was a bit intimidated at first, but I bought an inexpensive pan as a trial run and followed your instructions. After a trip to my Asian grocery store, I was ready to tackle takoyaki. The first few tasted fine but looked ugly, but after a few tries, I got a lot better at it. There’s just something so comforting about the piping hot batter, tender octopus, sauces, and dancing bonito. I’ve made it often for the past year or so. Thank you again for giving me the confidence to try and for an excellent recipe.

This is the most DETAILED and THOROUGH explanation of every step of the process I've seen on YT!! Thank you sooooo much! I really appreciate how you walk us through every step of the process, including every single ingredient, their purposes, and their substitutions. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your recipe and your video. Thank you sooooo much again, I can't wait to make this once I get my own pan!!! :)))

[@amiliau1423]

I made it and it was delicious! The recipe worked. My take (for future self that wants to remember) - I doubled the recipe and mine yielded roughly 24 (my pan was 16). - I didn't use octopus (fishballs, cheese, and mushrooms were what I had. I just chopped them to size) and pickled ginger (I added some freshly minced ginger and a light sprinkle of garlic powder instead once the batter was made). - Instead of 2 tsp of soy sauce, I did 2 tbsps. - The water I used was room temp. - I added PLENTY of green onions. I had some leftover mushrooms, so I minced and added with the green onions. - I added roughly 1-2 tbsp potato starch (couldn't find cornstarch) - I added roughly 1 tbsp sesame oil to the finished batter For the oil (the one on the pan) I used a 1 to 1 ratio of sesame oil and veg oil

What a nice little recipe. I've got a Takoyaki iron but recipes looked too difficult but I'm going to try this with prawn pieces. Octopus is hard to get where I live. I'm a new subscriber for you. Thank you from New Zealand.

i just got a takoyaki electric maker... never made it before, but looking forward to trying tomorrow! Was looking up how especially with octopus as its an ingredient i've never used. This video was very helpful!

i just watched a man eat 16 takoyaki balls along with a bowl of rice. my stomach could never

[@houssemrabhi5549]

I would finish those in a couple of minutes 😂

[@petervansan1054]

if you do calorie counting without sauces it's only 475 calories for takoyaki and that is with 10g of oil which is probably too much

[@rezapratama8609]

He just eat 1 bowl, meanwhile im here with maybe 4-5 bowl to be full with that serving 😅

[@CompartidaB]

I did this recipe today for first time and it turned out amazing!! The takoyaki was round and perfect, but it took me a long time to cook it, maybe I had the fire too low, but I didn't wanna burn it. I did not use nori, ginger and tempura bites, and I used 8 flour tablespoons. I put a bit of salt to the mix, and I used sunflower oil instead of sesame. It was so good. We finished eating it in 3 minutes 😂 I will try doing many and freezing them.

Where do you live? They sell it Daiso, usually. If not, check Amazon.

[@llanducci]

Great video. I love octopus, but have eaten it grilled in a salad. This looks like an excellent alternative. Some suggestions: Match is consistently used incorrectly in all your videos. Look it up. The word means: a contest in which people or teams compete against each other in a particular sport. "a boxing match" It’s usually used to convey the idea that the food, sauce or other product goes well with…. That would be a better phrase to use. Another good word would be: verb 3rd person present: complements add to (something) in a way that enhances or improves it; make perfect. "a classic blazer complements a look that's stylish or casual"

[@torimarshall9599]

If something matches, it goes well with something else. It's akin to saying the two foods or flavors pair well together. His vocabulary choice is fine.

[@monisantini-kelly6581]

Thank you! It seems super delicious. Question: since I have celiac and can't eat wheat (or anything containing gluten), is it possible to do it with a gluten-free flour mix?
