Ingredients:
200g chopped boiled octopus
cooking oil
benishoga (pickled ginger)
chopped negi (or scallions)
tenkasu (or rice crispies)
Batter:
450cc water
1 piece konbu (kelp)
10cm square
15g powdered katsuo-bushi (shaved dried bonito)
200g flour
2 eggs.
Sauce:
commercial takoyaki sauce
or worcestershire sauce
or bulldog sauce
or mayonnaise (Best Foods or Hellman's),
Direction:
Clean the konbu by wiping it lightly with a cloth. Cut the konbu into
2-centimeter-wide partial strips against the grain, but don't cut all the
way to the edge. Add the water and konbu to a pot, and cook uncovered over
a slow fire. Just before the water starts to boil, remove the konbu from
the pot. The liquid should be a light yellowish or greenish color. Add
shaved katsuobushi to the water as it starts to boil. After the liquid has
been boiling a minute or two, turn off the heat. Quickly remove the
shaved katsuobushi from the liquid with a filter or strainer or cloth. Try
to remove the katsuobushi while it's still floating on the surface, before
it has a chance to sink. Allow the liquid to cool, then add the liquid,
flour and eggs to a bowl and mix.
