Nisshin Takoyaki flour mix already contains powdered dashi (bonito and konbu seaweed extract) and pickled ginger to enhance the taste of takoyaki.
Furthermore, with this special flour mix you will achieve crunchy takoyakis outside and at the same time slurry inside.
By adding the ingredients of octopus (or anything you want to put inside like squid, meet, cheese, or vegetables), you can create delicious takoyaki!
Takoyaki is a Japanese savoury ball-shaped pancake that mainly consists of batter filled with octopus or any other filling.
The word "Tako" means Octopus, and the word "yaki" means grilled or cooked. Thus, you can add different toppings and ingredients to the batter base. The most common filling is of course octopus, but you can put squid, shrimp, cheese or anything you think would match with.
And for the toppings; Takoyaki Sauce, Japanese mayonnaise,Katsuobushi (bonito flakes) or aonori (type of seaweed) makes takoyaki even better!
