Today, I'm going to show you how to make delicious Takoyaki using a frying pan. This type of Takoyaki is called "KAKUTAKO" in Japan, where "KAKU" means "square" (SHIKAKU). With this recipe, you can make Takoyaki without using a traditional Takoyaki pan. Many recipes for making Takoyaki without a pan involve forming the batter into balls and frying them, but this can cause the batter to become hard and fail to recreate that soft and gooey texture. My recipe completely captures the authentic taste and texture of real Takoyaki. Be sure to give it a try!

◎ Takoyaki Ingredients:
・80g boiled octopus
・Green part of 1 leek
・25g pickled ginger
・50g all-purpose flour
・180ml water
・3g dashi powder
・1 teaspoon soy sauce
・a pinch of salt
・1 egg

※Dashi powder can be omitted by substituting water with dashi. Please watch this video to learn how to make dashi.
