たこ焼き

たこ焼き- Octopus ball Osaka traditional snack food
One of my favourite as well =) I used to have it in China when I haven’t meet the real one in Osaka. Then I had it with my lovely Darling at home, though the pan is smaller and fire is not very good, always fail some, succeed some, then had all of them. But it’s fresh and hot, full of love ♥
This time, after haven’t had them for so long, was surprisingly good =P
Recipe for two people:
♥1.4 cup of flour (we used 1 cup of bread and pizza flour, then added 0.4 cup of tempura flour later, use less water for normal flour)
♥1.4L water
♥3 eggs
♥2 bag of dash (japanese fish stock) (silver bag)
–> Tempura flour makes it crispy, and better flour makes taste better too <–
——–mix the above well, filter twice
♥spring onion
♥red ginger
♥bubbles
♥fish – octopus, fish cake (ちくわ), little shrimp
——- put fish in after heat up the pan with oil, then fill in half with thin flour paste, then is the bubble,s, spring onion, red ginger, then last cover with flour paste.
–> Points: *Enough oil for the pan, and burn it well before use, so the pan is happy to make takoyaki, *Strong fire to make it crispy from the beginning then reduce fire so it won’t get over burnt, *Lots of fillings to make the ball rounder and nicer, * Lots of 天かつ (tenkazu) makes it tasty, * Thinner spring onion is better than fat ones <–
♥Mayonnaise
♥takoyaki sauce
♥aonori あおのり (green little seaweed powder?)
♥fish flake
——– first two, mix as sauce, and last two as topping ♥
Final picture will be
 The best and original takoyaki is from Osaka, Hanshin Department store. B1 where all the foods are sold.. ♥
