Takoyaki Waffles

An easy takoyaki inspired dish.

Ingredients

FOR THE FILLING: 1 tin Octopus with Lemon & Dill Pickled red ginger Sliced green onions

FOR THE BATTER: 1 egg 1 ¼ Cup of water 1 tsp Hon Dashi ¾ Cup cake flour ¼ tsp salt

FOR THE TOPPING: Takoyaki sauce Kewpie mayonnaise Bonito flake Sliced green onions

Preparation

FOR THE BATTER: Whisk together all the ingredients until just combined. Set aside for 20 minutes. FOR THE FILLING: Remove the octopus from the tin and cut it into smaller pieces, approx. ¼”-½” in size. Reserve the tin juice.

TO MAKE THE WAFFLE: Place your waffle maker on the highest setting. Generously oil both sides of the waffle maker using a silicone brush or with spray oil. Add a ½ cup of batter to the waffle maker. Quickly sprinkle a small handful of pickled red ginger and sliced green onions evenly on top of the cooking batter. Scatter half the tin of octopus on the waffle followed by half of the tin juice. Pour another ¼ cup of batter on top of the fillings and cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Remove the waffle and go wild with the toppings!
