Soft and Creamy Delicious Akashiyaki!

  1. Make a big batch of chicken bone soup and keep it in stockor use chicken stock granules.
  2. Combine the batter ingredients, and mix with the cooled chicken stock.
  3. Beat the eggs well.
  4. The batter is done.
  5. If there are any lumps in the batter, pass it through a sieve to remove them.

  7. The batter should be quite liquid.
  8. Cut the octopus into 1.5 cm pieces.

  13. Simmer over low heat while skimming off any scum for about 10 minutes.
  14. After 10 minutes strain the dashi through a sieve.

  16. Instead of throwing the used bonito flakes out, turn them into furikake (to sprinkle on rice etc)!.

  18. Add the mirin, light colored soy sauce and salt, bring to a boil, and the dipping sauce is done!
  19. Heat up a takoyaki maker well, and oil generously.
