In a separate bowl, whisk the&nbsp;<strong>egg<\/strong>. Add the egg to the dry mixture, then slowly pour in the&nbsp;<strong>dashi stock<\/strong>&nbsp;or water and whisk it all together. You&#8217;re aiming for a thin, runny consistency here, so if it&#8217;s too thick just add more water or dashi.140 g plain flour \/ all purpose flour,10 g cornstarch \/ cornflour,1 egg,450 ml dashi stock<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, heat the takoyaki pan over a medium high heat and brush&nbsp;<strong>oil&nbsp;<\/strong>over the entire surface.

When the bottom of the batter starts turning crispy, use a chopstick to cut out a square shape around each takoyaki well.100-140 g octopus pieces,1\/2 cup spring onion \/ green onion,1-2 tbsp pickled ginger,1\/2 cup tenkasu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next comes Masa\u2019s fancy technique. Move your chopstick in an \u2018L\u2019 shape around the each well, then immediately push down into the well to flip the batter, forming a rough ball shape as you go. It might take a few tries, but keep going and you\u2019ll quickly get the hang of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue flipping each ball occasionally as the batter becomes crispy and golden brown on all sides. The easiest way to do this is to pierce the takoyaki ball with the chopstick and pull upwards to flip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For The Toppings:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pop your cooked takoyaki onto serving platters and top with your favourite topping combinations.
