Osaka Chef: Anonomous

Takoyaki
[Takoyaki (octopus balls)]
Recipe
1) Mix flour, egg, water, and bonito broth to make dough.
2) Place dough in round takoyaki cooker.
3) Add octopus and flip until all sides are cooked.
4) Spread sauce on takoyaki. Add mayonaise, seaweed flakes and bonito flakes as you like.

Worth Taking Note
After asking several locals no one could decide whether or not takoyaki originated in Osaka with takoyaki or in Akaishi with akaishiyaki (takoyaki in soup).
In either case, takoyaki has been loved by Osakans for decades. Takoyaki shops can be found in almost any neighborhood. The dish used to take advantage of the vast number of octopus caught in the nearby ocean but recently most octopus are being imported from Africa.


How was it?
Delicious. Okonomiyaki is one of my favorites.
