I used google translate, but I think there’s something lost in translation 😅

  1. Look up instructions on how to make takoyaki.
    You will need a takoyaki pan for starters, it’s not too difficult but there is a bit of a knack to it.

    I sent your photo for ChatGPT and asked how to make it since I don’t know Japanese, lol. Below is the copy/paste.

    This is a takoyaki mix package in Japanese. Here’s a basic English translation of the steps to make takoyaki (based on the image):

    Ingredients Needed (for 4 servings):
    Chopped octopus: ~160 g;
    Eggs: 2;
    Chopped green onions: 10 g (~2 tbsp);
    Salad oil: For cooking;
    Water: 500 ml;
    Toppings (optional): Takoyaki sauce, dried seaweed (aonori), etc.

    Instructions:
    1. Prepare the batter: In a bowl, combine the takoyaki mix, 500 ml of water, and 2 eggs. Stir well to make a smooth batter.
    2. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, mix the chopped octopus, green onions, and any additional fillings (like red pickled ginger, if desired).
    3. Cooking the takoyaki: Heat the takoyaki pan to 200°C (medium heat). Lightly grease the pan with salad oil.
    • Pour the batter into each mold until it fills the hole.
    • Add the filling mixture into the center of each mold.
    • Cook until the bottom sets, then use a skewer or chopsticks to turn each ball, rotating continuously until evenly cooked and golden brown.
    4. Serving: Drizzle takoyaki sauce over the cooked takoyaki and sprinkle with aonori, bonito flakes, or any other desired toppings.

    Enjoy your homemade takoyaki!

  3. Do you have a takoyaki machine? The things with dents in them to put the batter in?
