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

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.

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

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!!! :)))

Yummy,amazing,thanks for the recipe

Looks so good!!

Thank you for this! I just visited Osaka and LOVED the Takoyaki. Now I can make my own!

Takoyaki is such a delicious food, I always get it when going to a Japanese restaurant. Thank you for sharing the recipe so we can try it at home! :)

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.

Thank you so much to share your recipe, it’s came out to be a great product with so much of flavour and full of mani 🙏thank you again 😊

Takoyaki kelihatanya enak banget kak terima kasih kak sharingnya

I already have an Iwatani butane stove, so I got the takoyaki cover! I can't wait to try it this weekend.

You are a great chef

Octopus balls 🤣😂😆😅🤣easy to misunderstand😂. Thank you so much for😮 sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The first time I had takoyaki was last week in Japan town in SF. Now I’m hooked❤ I had what they called negoyaki, similar to what you made with the spring onion. Great snack !

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

Looks yummy.... So cute cats...

My favourite in Japan wish to cook it perfectly

Weizenmehl :D somehow didn't expect that. Thanks for the great video! I am so close to biting the bullet and getting a pan myself. Takoyaki must be the single best streetfood I ever had the pleasure of eating

Thank you for this video

I'm not a fan of seafood... other than fish. But, I'm going to try making this with chicken! I think it'll still be yummy!

I’ve watched a lot of different videos on how to make this dish and I have to say that I actually like your video the best but I am wondering what would you recommend if all we have is an electric stove?

hello. Takoyaki pan bought today. i will do the recipe tomorrow. thank you. sorry for my english...🙏

Okay first try was overwhelming lmfao. Should I season my cast iron first? And if im burning too quick, should i use a lower heat? Thank you so much!

I don’t have a gas stove. Do you have any suggestion for a pan to use? I have a old stove that has coils.

It looks like it would be a good recipe with cold water lobster as well.

Hi, do you think I can make takoyaki in an aebleskiver pan??

Omg, your recipe looks better than the restaurants I've eaten at here. What do you do the remaining octopus?

I mean perfectly cooked

Wah looks delicious, want to cook it but i don't have that pan/? 😅

Hi l am from Canada I have a cake ball pan you think I can use it to make to make it. Thanks

Wow sry I was so loaded trying to cook lol I had to sleep, trying again today 😵‍💫

Thank u very much. I love takoyaki, but i can only found it in 'Liberdade' neighborhood (São Paulo, Brasil). Never found it at Japanase restaurants here, only with a old lady and her family at that neighborhood. I hate cooking, but since i dont find a place to buy, here i am

Looks so yummy! Thank you for another amazing video.

Would it be easier with chopsticks? I know cooking chopsticks are popular in Japan although I'm not sure if they use them for this

I made this dish using your recipe and I must say it tastes great even if I don't have any experience cooking this kind of dish. Thank you so much I appreciate the tutorial.

I tried this in Tokyo. I was expecting a firmer squid type texture but the octopus was very soft. The texture here looks firmer though.

Do they sell Takoyaki pans that work on induction stove?

I do not own a gas oven, but I hope a portable gas oven can work to cook this recipe. Thank you for sharing.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So, is Takoyaki considered a meal by itself? Or should I serve it with another dish (besides rice)?

I really want to try and make these but before i buy the pan and ingredients, id thought id try ready made first incase i dont like them , i found a website called japan centre that sells in uk they have frozen takoyaki do you recomend these as some reviews say they taste mushy ? Thank you for any help you can give 😊

@taijiskitchen

Жыл бұрын

when I am back in Japan, I do eat some frozen Takoyaki. it really depends on how you prepare it. if you just microwave it, it will be rather soggy, although some people do actually prefer it that way as well. but if you put it in oven or even fry it, it will be crunchy. or actually the best way is heating up using this takoyaki pan, which in your case doesn't make sense, since you want to try it first before getting the pan... but of course not all frozen Takoyaki are as good, so id suggest to heat it in oven and try it. but you should also know that home made takoyaki is always better than frozen ones. or you can try finding Takoyaki in some Japanese restaurants.

Can I use panko instead of the tempura crumbs? I hope they have Iwatani that’s usable for induction stoves. I love Takoyaki. I first tried it in Kyoto and here in Germany I get it everytime it’s on the menu. Seeing you enjoy your food is making me hungry! Hahahaha!

you could, but then it will not have the roasted aroma. its just like putting bread peaces. if you have a chance, fry the panko, then use the fried version.

My virgin try yielded perfect succulent & moist balls bursting w umami flavor. Hurray!! No more pasar malam takoyaki for me. Completely doable @home❤❤

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"

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.

Is the inside supposed to be cooked inside like cake or gush out like a gusher? I had one once and it gushed out that I just couldn’t eat it because it was too liquidy. I really want to like it because it looks so good.

@mahbuddykeith1124

It’s supposed to be set, but not liquedous. Think of a French omelette or a honey cruller. It should be custardy on the inside, but not free-flowing batter.

While I don't have that device, I wonder if I coul'd try some kind of pancake?

of course you can try it just as a flat pancake, then its called Okonomiyaki.

How many servings does your recipe yield?

I have question: can this batter be refrigerated?
