As a poor college student here in Japan we replace the octopus most often with cut up sausages... honestly not even that bad, definitely worth a try!

@Sacto1654 Год назад

I'm surprised that somebody in Japan didn't try to use some other chopped meat besides octopus in a takoyaki on a commercial scale.

@chriswhinery925 Год назад

To me everything about this recipe looks good EXCEPT the octopus so the sausage form of it sounds a lot better to me lol. I don't think I can ever bring myself to eat something with all those tentacles.

@aworldanonymous Год назад

I think the one major detail you missed is that when making the Kewpie mayo, it uses egg yolks rather than whole eggs, which is what gives it the rich creamy texture.

@roygato3797 Год назад

A lot of 'western' mayonnaise recipes do this too, but it's a little bit inconvenient for home cooking because then you have to keep and find sth to do with just the egg whites lol. The difference here is minimal enough that it's probably not worth it if you're just doing it for yourself.

@arg8763 Год назад

My daughter and I love quirky Asian food, and Takoyaki is definitely that. A good memory for us is being in Boston and at 1AM deciding we needed to hop on the Red Line and go get some Takoyaki. It was so cool being there late and seeing that place absolutely hopping!

@kristywilliams6721 Год назад

I lived in Japan for a few years and one of the first Japanese foods I had there was takoyaki! I was almost put off at first because of the octopus 🐙 but didn't want to offend my Japanese colleagues and I was there to experience new things. It was so yummy! I soon learned that squiggly wiggly octopus and squid are tasty. Grilled squid on a stick was a festival favorite of mine as well. This video came out at the perfect time since I'm making Japanese croquettes for dinner tonight and couldn't find the katsu sauce at the store. I was just going to use ketchup but didn't realize how easy it was to make and have all the ingredients on hand! Thanks! I have cabbage in my garden this year and would love to see your take on okonomiyaki!

@Sevicify Год назад

Another method to make them shaped without a pan is to put the batter into ice cube trays (a silicone tray would be best) and freeze solid, then while still frozen fry them in oil (shallow is fine, just make sure at least half covered and rotate when needed). This works extremely well and they keep their form, and an advantage is you can make a large batch in advance and keep frozen until you want some. I would make a bit thicker batter than in this video though, and when I did it the few times I've made takoyaki I mixed all the add-ins (I've used cabbage, green onion, octopus and prawns in mine) directly into the entire batter before putting into the tray rather than into each individual portion (though I guess you could do that to ensure more evened portions). Another method I tried once, the first time, was a free form shaping of a much thicker batter with spoons and dropping directly into the oil which should be deep enough to basically cover it all. Definitely comes out much rougher looking but the end result is still good, I do prefer the frozen method feeling the thinner batter produces a better result and keeping some frozen is just handy.

@castironchaos Год назад

You can find those pans for making takoyaki all over the place in Chinese and Asian markets here in the USA. They're often made of cast iron, and also often nonstick pans. The cast iron takoyaki pans are identical to aebelskiver pans used in Europe for making aebelskivers...and aebelskivers are made the same way but with *very* different ingredients. 🙂

@Kurai919 Год назад

Awesome recipe, man! It's cool to see you make everything from scratch! Very similar to how my Japanese partner and I make them when craving them! Another good way to add sweetness and saltiness into the takoyaki-sauce is to use Indonesian 'Kecap Manis' instead of molasses. This, in combination with soy sauce, ketchup and worcestershire sauce really is almost identical to the brands you can buy. The only thing I have to say (and which most people on non-japanese youtube do, by the way), is that 'nori' is not the same as the 'aonori' you find sprinkled over your takoyaki in Japan! The words are similar, but they are a different seaweed and not used for the same purposes!
