Gara2 baca blognya @windyamun..saya jd pingin makan Takoyaki juga,scara saya adalah salah satu penggemar Japanese Food atau Seafood. Makanan/camilan khas Jepang Takoyaki (たこ焼き or 蛸焼^?) (literally fried or baked octopus) is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, ponzu, mayonnaise, green laver (aonori), and katsuobushi (fish shavings). Doi beli di Giant Mampang katanya...huuu mauuuuu *ngiler*

Atau bisa coba bikin sendiri kali yaaaa..

Tako means octopus in Japanese, and takoyaki are known as octopus balls. Takoyaki venders are very popular in Japan. To make takoyaki, a grill pan for takoyaki is used. The pan has many small cups to pour the batter.

Takoyaki

Ingredients:
* 1 2/3 cup flour
* 2 1/2 cup dashi soup
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 lb. boiled octopus, cut into bite-size pieces
* 1/4 cup chopped green onion
* 1/4 cup dried sakura ebi (red shrimp)
* 1/4 cup chopped pickled red ginger

For toppings:
* katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
* aonori (green seaweed powder)
* Worcestershire sauce or takoyaki sauce
* mayonnaise

Preparation:
Mix flour, dashi soup, and eggs in a bowl to make batter. Thickness of the batter should be like potage soup. Put oil inside cups of a takoyaki grill pan. Pour batter into the cups to the full. Put octopus, red ginger, and green onion in each hole. Grill takoyaki balls, turning with a pick. When takoyaki become rounds and brown, remove them from the pan and place in a plate. Put sauce and mayonnaise on takoyaki and sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori on the top.
