The BEST Takoyaki (Octopus Balls Recipe) | OCHIKERON | Create Eat Happy :)

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced octopus, tenkasu (tempura scraps), beni shoga (red pickled ginger), and aonegi (green onion), topped with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori (green laver), and katsuobushi (bonito flakes).
When I was small, I cooked Takoyaki once a month at home. My mom gave me the pan we used then. However, as you can see, the cast iron pan is not easy to use. I recommend you getting a non-stick Takoyaki pan online! It is affordable and saves your time! haha

It's so cute and awesome how you care about your daughter. She is really cute and intelligent. She will become as cool as her mother ;)

[@Lilnicol3180]

Takoyaki has always been a food I've always wanted to try! It looks delicious!

[@Prikjob]

I'm so happy there's a cafe that makes this. Takoyaki is so good! When I tell people what it's called, they're expecting it to taste like "tacos", because of the "tako" part. I laughed when they ate one and seen the looks on their faces. Hahaha I then explain that "tako" is octopus in Japanese. They still like it though. :)

[@remainingembers]

I've always wanted to try these! They look very savory and Yummy, but a little tricky to make in that type of pan.

[@ochikeron]

before you comment and say you know this recipe, please see the description box. thank you~

[@todorro]

I hope this reason isn't giving you more stress! But I always enjoy your videos even if it is uploaded again! :D

[@stabilosammohamad6596]

ochikeron I saw that mean comment that was directed to you. I've reported and hopefully KZbin gave him a whack in the butt! Don't let sore losers like that affect you. People like him are called keyboard warriors for a reason.

[@stabilosammohamad6596]

potato dude nah nah nah not you. There's this jackass who said that the food she did was rubbish and she was losing subs lol. If you have the time look thru the comments in her previous vid & you'll see that guy

In Denmark we have a dessert called æbleskiver. It is only served in during november-december. It looks like takoyaki, but æbleskiver is NOT made with octopus. Æbleskiver is like pancakes and is served with powdered sugar and jam😜

[@Nivrad6Dmanindahouse]

Very cute. I would love to make some. I'm looking forward for more videos.

[@nomiii4074]

I love your videos, Ochikeron! I ever make your Omurice recipe and its very tasty! :3 (I'm sorry if my grammar is wrong)

[@bettysanchez118]

Hello Ochi, delicious recipe, will have to keep it a bit until buy the utensil to make them. Kisses to your babies and greetings to your Mom from Mexico, D.F

[@MillieBoBilly]

first time I've seen takoyaki was actually in a tamagotchi Nintendo DS game I played as a kid where you ran a little takoyaki shop. it's crazy how accurate it was to the real thing xD

[@marusan7846]

[@ashtree8868]

Hopefully there would be takoyaki flour in my local Asian markets

[@tranthao4017]

[@RedBloodyGirl]

Hello there! I am wondering if there's a Gluten Free flour to make takoyaki or if I can make this recipe with any kind of GF flour! I really loved Takoyaki when I went to Japan, sadly years after I was diagnosed with coeliac disease and I really wish to make those for myself!

[@elisic5489]

That's awesome thank you!

[@ochikeron]

you are very welcome :)

[@jaom181]

[@ballorawan7672]

ITS SOOOOO KAWAII!!!!! Some of my Dads side of the family went 2 Japan (Dunno which part BTW) and bought a Bunch of Popin Cookin things & a Takoyaki things, but da Stove thing broke cuz the Watts of da Electric wasn't right

[@FargonNemeloc]

does it have to be takoyaki flour? can it be used pancake flour or something a little bit generic?

[@ochikeron]

if you use other flour, it tastes like the flour you used~ i think you can find takoyaki flour on amazon :)

[@xPumpkinWitchx]

Im vegetarian any suggestion what i could put inside instead? would tofu work?

[@susanamozza]

Olá adoro voce, mais gostaria de ver algo vegano em suas comidas.

[@vee_ciutz]

hello ochikeron, i would like to know takoyaki pan brand good one beside using electric, what brand? i've seen at amazon sell iwatani brand, is this brand good? i don't want that using electric one, thanks before

[@littlechoincho]

If I do not use takoyaki flour， how can I make it？ thankyou

[@haylz27]

Can you make more dishes with meat?

[@strawberrybambi5514]

Ochikeron -san is there any way to make the takoyaki flour myself?,also I hope you are doing fine c: 💖

[@ochikeron]

making the flour from scratch is much harder to find the right ingredients... i mean, maybe you need the same effort to find them. i recommend you looking for the flour online. it is much faster and easier :)

[@strawberrybambi5514]

Oooh I see, thank you very much ochi-san ^-^ !

[@jennyli8094]

you r awesome! next time can you teach us how to make it from scratch? cuz where i live its hard to find the takoyaki flour thx!!😊

[@ochikeron]

actually, making the flour from scratch is much harder to find the right ingredients... i mean, maybe you need the same effort to find them. i recommend you looking for the flour online. it is much faster and easier :)

[@jennyli8094]

ochikeron oh thank you! do you think they will sell it in daiso?

[@jadacoppedge4480]

[@monicaakaza418]

[@Rijo27]

Omg plz adopt me so i can eat this awesome food! 😭

[@XyKP1fan]

Lovely as always! You are incredible! (^w^) Best wishes! Take care

[@MrEquusQuagga]

Why don't you like octopus? The texture?

[@periwinkle2881]

Dr. Zebra everyone has different preferences for food. I do not really like octopus as well hehe

[@xPumpkinWitchx]

Also they say pregnant woman are not supposed to eat fish

[@ashtree8868]

+xPumpkinWitchx lmao what? Octopuses aren't fish

[@xPumpkinWitchx]

Aeri Tree just wow... Ok then for the pedantic's out there I meant seafood but whatever

[@September2091]

ochikeron flipped it like a pro. took me 3min to flip 1 hahaha ＞＿＜

[@Grimmykin]

Takoyaki has always intrigued me, but not knowing if I like octopus has put me off ordering it at restaurants in the past. I hate wasting food, I guess I need to find a friend who likes it and pinch one of theirs!

[@ochikeron]

i ask my darling (husband) to eat them. haha i understand you so much

[@Fenia14]

in Denmark we make sweet takoyaki for Christmas. we call it æbleskiver. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86bleskiver

[@ochikeron]

wow really?!

[@Fenia14]

yes. and we eat them with powder sugar and Strawberry or raspberry jam :)

[@ayuxoxo]

Rikke Nydam Now I want to come to Denmark. I love sweet food and Takoyaki! The dreaM!

[@sivyig]

[@monicaakaza418]

Where can I buy the pan ?

[@ochikeron]

maybe on amazon?

[@reginacui8157]

anyone tell me high heat or low heat please？ I failed by both ways. it's raw inside but burnt outside

[@reginacui8157]

I meant, inside the ball is super soft. Is that normal?

[@migumisalado140]

I cant find any takoyaki flour 😟 whats for substitutions

[@ochikeron]

not that easy to find the ingredients to make it from scratch to get the same flavor as this flour... so maybe it is easier for you to look for takoyaki flour. amazon may have it :)

[@migumisalado140]

+ochikeron Ok thank you

[@jennarosebernardo9836]
