here we go. If you haven't seen it, I think you should at least give Little Miss Sunshine a rental, if it's out on video yet ..., not sure, anyway its great!
on to the takoyaki (fried balls filled with octopus bits and more!)
It's something you should really try if you come to Japan, and especially if you visit Osaka.
(1)
You mix some batter of fish sauce-ish water, egg and flour. Then you cut up various ingredients
octopus should be boiled first.
we also used shrimp, chicken and negi (green onions)
(2)
pour batter into the takoyaki grill and add ingredients
(3)
once they're ready, flip and let finish
(4)
remove from the grill and add garnish
common choices are takoyaki sauce, mayo or bonito (dried fish shavings)
(5)
the bonito flakes dance because of the rising heat form the takoyaki
(that might not be true at all, but they do dance)
anyway, we are borrowing the grill form Jo's manager so we might be experimenting with other styles, neither of us are really big fans of octopus. They are just little balls of dough and
fillings, add some sugar and its desert, maybe some breakfast types, ham and egg.
Everyone at work thinks im crazy because i change japanese recipes to my liking.
that's all, but in case you missed it Jo and I will be in Korea from April 29 until May 7 or 8.
Golden week vacation! yes! last year we hung out around here and I was sick, this year will be better!
you can always check out the pics and more at my flickr page
