Takoyaki

as you all may notice, i switch the f and the p letter in my url, hence the strange url.
okay, nuff with the chit chat, here we go. as for my first food i’d like we go all the way to the sun country a.k.a japan. TAKOYAKI, yup, for all nerd, geek, otaku, bookworm out there that read manga (comic in japan) must have heard about this yummy snack.
Takoyaki mean grilled octopus, literally. it’s famous snack/dumpling in kansai state in japan, it came in the shape of ball, about 3-5 cm in diameter. the best way to describe the taste is like a savory pancake in the shape of ball.
here’s some tasty picture

 

Special Pan For Takoyaki

and the last is recipe, for temporary taken from wikipedia
To make about 60 takoyaki balls:

• low gluten wheat flour 300 g
• dashi 1000 ml (chilled)
• eggs 3
• soy sauce 1 tsp
• salt 1.5 tsp

Mix all the ingredients till smooth, and rest the batter in a refrigerator for overnight or 1 full day. Mix it well every time it is to be cooked, as the starch will sediment rapidly.
for the sauce i will post it again a.s.a.p, but hey, what stopping you from using chili and tomato ketchup.
