Takoyaki (たこ焼き)
Japanese · East Asia
STOVETOP
7/10
Spherical battered dumplings filled with diced octopus, pickled ginger, and green onion, drizzled with sauce and mayo.
Why It Works
The batter is very liquid, creating a crispy shell that encases a molten, custardy interior — the contrast between the crisp outside and flowing inside is the whole point.
Key Ingredients
octopus
flour
dashi
eggs
pickled ginger
takoyaki sauce
Kewpie mayo
bonito flakes
