This is absolutely the best Takoyaki recipe I've ever seen, I'm actually going to buy a pan and try it. Thank you for inspiration and very descriptive steps. You make it look so easy.
I have bought pans and gadgets to make yummy food. They always end up in my cupboard! I try, I fail and to the back of the cupboard it goes! As much as I love Takoyaki, I know I will fail so I won't even attempt buying the pan! 🤣 Best of luck and lmk how it goes. 🤙
I've been cooking takoyaki for a year now, gotta say it's one of the best street food i've ever loved. I usually cook twice the batter to make it very round and creamy inside. Usually the cooking time is around 15 minutes until all of them are brown. It's a really fun and delicious dish
It seems in Japanese cuisine, one should have a large pitcher of kombu water in the kitchen or refrigerator ready to go because it's used everywhere and requires so much time beforehand to infuse.
You can add some more batter to the pan when you do the first turning, easy way to make them look pretty even if you mess up with the turning a bit. Very nice recipe!
Another great recipe chef Taku. I may need to invest in a Takoyaki pan after watching this. I have been craving these since we had them in Japan so I went and bought some prefrozen ones but my husband complained as there was not enough octopus in them so I was just thinking I will need to see if I can find out how to make them. You must have read my mind!
No worries Desii!! If you got your Takoyaki pan, you can also try to cook with different stuff!!! Adding cheese, using prawn instead, etc. Possibility is endless!!
I remember the first time i had takoyaki, I had ordered something else entirely, got the wrong order, said "eh" not knowing what it was, and was forever changed by how freaking amazing it was.
Thank you so much for the recipe! This is the most complete and easy to understand one of many I've watched! Especially the part of handling the takoyaki pan is the absolute best for the beginner! Very much appreciate it.
I did my first attempt at takoyaki today. Rolling and shaping the balls is tricky and I messed some of them up, but they still tasted great! I'm going to keep at it, practice makes perfect.
Awesome 👍👍. During a lockdown last year I watched 僕はまだ君を愛さないことができる (Boku wa Mada Kimi o Aisanai Koto ga Dekiru). In that drama they were making and eating this all the time. Now I can have a go too 👍👍 … have to get a pan first. It looks absolutely delicious … your neighbours must be in seventh heaven when you cook on the balcony 😃👍.
A very similar looking dish is prepared in Tamil Nadu ( A South Indian State) called Panniyaram which is made only from batter sweetened with a traditional natural sugar called Mandavalam ( or Gud in Hindi) and there is no use of any kind of meat. Even the oven used is exactly same. This could be because of a monk called Bodhi-Dharaman ( Daruma In Japanese ) travelled to China & Japan from India and had great impact in spreading of Buddhism and thus also might had some influence of Indian food culture. Thus toriyaki is very similar to panniyaram. I may or may not be accurate but I don't have intention of downplaying Japanese culture.
Thank you for watching!! (日本語は下にあります) An another requested dish is done!! I still got lot more requests coming!!! So I'm working hard to develop the recipes for you!

Great video again. Only one thing. It's bout the art of the food and helping us try this at home. The music was to up beat I felt like I should be driving or dance but I wanted to watch how chef work is done :) oh I love how a simple propane stove is all is needed. No excuses nice
I tried this recipe and forgot to put the eggs but end up with even more crispy outer skin with soft and more chewy interior.. I kinda like it. So now whenever I made this I divided the batter into 2, half with egg and the other half not. Just to have more fun and options 😁😁
Awesome recipe. I would have liked to see how to plate them with other sides or sauces. This is my favourite Japanese food channel. Cheers from Canader eh!
This looks delicious, thank you for sharing it! Do you happen to know if the recipe works with just rice flour? I have celiac disease, so I can't eat any wheat or some other grains.
I’d heard of takoyaki before but I really didn’t know what’s in it- now I can see that it’s kind of similar to clam cakes where I’m from! But with octopus instead of clams, and that perfect round shape instead of a bumpy lump :-)
Nice one . Felt the video ended before you took it off and plated it . Also can you substitute dashi powder instead of kombu and bonito since it's hard to get ?
Yes you can use dashi powder Elvis!! The reason that the video ended before plated was because most people skipped that part in the past videos. So I am trying to find a different type of ending 👍😉
Hey chef, I tried making this and so far it's going pretty well! However, I'm having a little trouble with the sauce. What kind of BBQ sauce would you recommend?
Totally not the chef but I feel like sweet baby rays would be good here, just because it has a really good amount of sweetness in it that would pair well with the batter
Welcome back pukeyy!! Yeah that sounds alright to me!! You know what? In Japan, It's common to have Takoyaki party at home. And we have fun with cooking with different ingredients such as: Cheese, sausage, chicken, kimchi, etc.. Get creative mate!!👍 It's fun to try other things too!!😉
I can't get a Takoyaki pan or the bonito flakes where I live 😥 and postage for the pan is so expensive. Can I ask where you live in Australia? I'm your newest subscriber, I love all things Japanese.
Hi ThatGirl711!! I live in Sydney, and using a Japanese grocery called Tokyo mart!! I will attach the link for you!!😉 tokyomart.com.au Or you can check my shopping list in the description!!👍 Hope it will help you!!😌
As bonito flakes are quite expensive where I live, is it possible to do this recipe with half the amounts of everything? Cutting down the recipe in half when it comes to quantities should still be good and proportioned right? I don't want to make too much because a whole 40g bag of Bonito is like 8 eur over here!
@@CHEFSLABO I will use more kombu and less bonito then! Thank you. Is it ok to make half recipe for everything? Smaller portions so I don't get too fat too quick :D

That pan is very similar to one I use for aebelskivers (pancake balls)
How do you know its the best recipe if u haven't tried it yet?
You got octopus laying around but not a pan?
@Fist Bump nope, staying steadfast on the nope.
"How many dish can you make using a kombu?"
Chef Labo : "Yes"
Chef Labo : "I'll show you the way of the kombu"
I've been cooking takoyaki for a year now, gotta say it's one of the best street food i've ever loved. I usually cook twice the batter to make it very round and creamy inside. Usually the cooking time is around 15 minutes until all of them are brown. It's a really fun and delicious dish
It seems in Japanese cuisine, one should have a large pitcher of kombu water in the kitchen or refrigerator ready to go because it's used everywhere and requires so much time beforehand to infuse.
If you can find near your location, there is also liquid version of dashi soup stock sold in bottles. I use it since it is easier and more convenient.
Uncle Roger : MSG is the king of flavour
Chef Labo : Let me introduce my Kombu....
I mean, konbu is one of the strongest sources of naturally occuring sources of MSG. Both are correct.
You can add some more batter to the pan when you do the first turning, easy way to make them look pretty even if you mess up with the turning a bit. Very nice recipe!

I love takoyaki! One of the best Japanese snacks to enjoy with friends over a few beers along with okonomiyaki. Thanks for sharing chef!
Welcome back Anton G!!
I'm glad that you liked it ☺️
Thank you for the comment👍
Kombu, bonito and octopus...these umami trio 🤤
Welcome back Mr mal!!!
Yeah they were pretty good though!!!
Hope you will try soon!! ☺️
I remember the first time i had takoyaki, I had ordered something else entirely, got the wrong order, said "eh" not knowing what it was, and was forever changed by how freaking amazing it was.
お腹が空いた！！！ うまそう！！ 今食べたくてたまらない！ｗｗ
Takoyaki is one of my favourite treats.
One day I will make my own :)
Thank you as always for sharing recipes with us
Thank you so much for the recipe! This is the most complete and easy to understand one of many I've watched! Especially the part of handling the takoyaki pan is the absolute best for the beginner! Very much appreciate it.
I did my first attempt at takoyaki today. Rolling and shaping the balls is tricky and I messed some of them up, but they still tasted great! I'm going to keep at it, practice makes perfect.
Besides getting the octopus, my biggest problem is obtaining a takoyaki pan. Where is a good place to get one without being charged a lot?
A quick search on Amazon will give you plenty of results. If you have an Asian market, they may sale some, as well.
Go to the Asian market, trust me. It'll be cheaper.
I love seeing the mobile suits observing. I feel like I'm with them.
I once tried takoyaki on my school's japanese event, it was damn good. Especially the sauce
One of the few channels I have actually bell notification turned on!
Keep up with great work!
Ok, saving this for all the times I'm going to make takoyaki in the future.
And it's gonna be a lot, I love this stuff!!
I love the little points saying it's ok to not be good at certain parts, it's really encouraging lol. I can't wait to try this sometime
Your detailed explanations and visual cues are really helpful! I can’t wait to give this a try.
The feeling when you can flex at your friends during takopa is bliss. Thanks for this chef
No worries 4RCH!!

Welcome back yoyo!!
I've heard about that drama, but haven't watched yet👀
You probably know about Japanese stuff more than me!! 😉
I want to try takoyaki one day... it looks nothing short but amazing
Hi Chef Kabo! Appreciate all the videos you put out! Please do Yakitori next 🙏🏻
I made this at the park. The recipe was easy to pre prep. I wouldn't change the recipe but I would add toppings.
I love Takoyaki, Thanks for sharing !!
Welcome back Yarda!!!
I'm glad to see your comment again 😊
Thank you for the comment👍
I kept waiting for him to add more batter. Neat that it turned into a ball without more batter.
Thank you so much for making this!!!! I love takoyaki so much gonna try this at home
Thank you so much,that’s lots of details

Sensei, how much MSG does it need if there's no kombu, 1/2 tbp?
I hope your safe over there in Sydney chef!
@@jimzkie5634 Mayne try 1/2 amount of the kombu in the recipe first, and see how it taste like. You can always add later on if needed 👍😉
can i do it by prawn instead of octopus. we are not habituated to eat octopus.
I live in Tokyo and no problem to get all the ingredients!! I will make them ASAP!! because I LOVE TAKOYAKI!! great recipe !! ARIGATO !!
Great stuff :D biggest fan Chef!
As soon as I saw the SD RX 78-2 Gundam, I instantly liked and subscribed.
Excellent use of animations and tips! I love your style.
Looks fun! I'm sure it will take some practice, but I love takoyaki, so I'm willing to give it a try! Great video with good explanations and insight.
Love the mini mobile suits♥️!!!

I love your videos and the way you cook! Keep it up chef :))
Wish we were friends. This looks delicious.
Great music!
Awesome recipe. I would have liked to see how to plate them with other sides or sauces. This is my favourite Japanese food channel. Cheers from Canader eh!
No worries Susan!!
Thank you for your comment 👍😉
this is my favorite japanese snack!
That looks amazingly good. Don’t know if I have the patience for all that tho 😅
Those takoyaki looks tasty. I'll try to find a takoyaki pan and try cooking so I won't give my money on takoyaki stores lol.
No worries cybersteampunk!!
My family absolutely loved it!!!
If you are happy to invest for the pan,
you can have it anytime!!👍😉
Wow, that really looks delicious.
can this be made with any other kind of seafood? my family won't eat octopus unfortunately but this looks delicious!
You can try shrimp or prawns. It will still taste similar.
By the way, the "tako" in takoyaki means "octopus" and "yaki" means "grilled".
I've seen the takoyaki first time in One piece 😍 and I really wanna try it
Hope I'll find the ingredients in my country that looks very delicious 😋🤤
Looks amazing. Subscribed. Gonna get a takoyaki pan
Yes, make me hungry.
well explained. kudos
Wow so yummy..
This looks delicious, thank you for sharing it! Do you happen to know if the recipe works with just rice flour? I have celiac disease, so I can't eat any wheat or some other grains.
Hi Bunnehwyld!!
Yes you can!!
But it become bit easier to get burn, and very crispy.
So just be gentle with your heat during cooking!👍😉
Love the gunplas 😁
That was so well made not subscribing afterwards would be criminal.
I'll be sure to make this some day soon.
yummmm!! i wonder how they taste like 🤔🤤🤤
The music is the best part for sure.

Oh that was you 😳
man, that looks AMAZING. i wish i can have one...
Nice one . Felt the video ended before you took it off and plated it .

Yes you can use dashi powder Elvis!!

Hi chef, how many balls can I make with your batter recipe?
Hey chef, I tried making this and so far it's going pretty well! However, I'm having a little trouble with the sauce. What kind of BBQ sauce would you recommend?
Totally not the chef but I feel like sweet baby rays would be good here, just because it has a really good amount of sweetness in it that would pair well with the batter
@@HeatherGg15 that's not a bad idea at all. I'll try it out.
Hi Jackalda!!
The name of the brand is Masterfoods.
But like Heather said, any basic BBQ sauce will do😉👍
Can you teach how to make oden?? pleaseee i love oden!!!
Just ran into this randomly.. subscribed because of Gundams and foooooooood!!
Oh what a coincidence New recipe of Takoyaki
do you think squid will work well too? I am often able to catch them when I go fishing but octopus is much rarer.
Welcome back pukeyy!!
Yeah that sounds alright to me!!
You know what?
In Japan, It's common to have Takoyaki party at home.
And we have fun with cooking with different ingredients such as:
Cheese, sausage, chicken, kimchi, etc..
Get creative mate!!👍
It's fun to try other things too!!😉
@@CHEFSLABO so you use the octopus broth even if when not using octopus filling?
@@nunyabiznes33 If you don't use octopus, you can skip it my friend😉
Kombu and bonito Dashi still give you plenty of umami!!!👍
@@CHEFSLABO ok ty. Just gonna try find those and hope they don't cost an eye and a leg.
Thank you for recipe my friend. U have a tofu cuisine ? 😁
Hi Pisut!!

Aussie represent!
Hey chef! As a fellow Australian where do you normally purchase your ingredients from? Specifically konbu, bonito, and other Japanese ingredients~
Hi Aye!!
If you are in Sydney, go TOKYO Mart in Northridge👍
Or you can shop from my Amazon links in the description 😉
Please consume it, it's the best part of the video!11!!11!
i'm always curious about this takoyaki, um
I can't get a Takoyaki pan or the bonito flakes where I live 😥 and postage for the pan is so expensive. Can I ask where you live in Australia? I'm your newest subscriber, I love all things Japanese.
Hi ThatGirl711!!
I live in Sydney, and using a Japanese grocery called Tokyo mart!!
I will attach the link for you!!😉
tokyomart.com.au
Or you can check my shopping list in the description!!👍
Hope it will help you!!😌
The ingredients r not things I use everyday. Makes me wonder if I should just buy the cooked food. Wouldn’t it cost more for me to make it?
Now Im motivated to make takoyaki
Thorbaik from Malaysia 👍👍👍
I don't know how I got here but I'm glad I did
I have a question. Isn't the batter undercooked on purpose? Or how else do you get the creamy center?
The batter will be gelatinised as you cook. It is different to undercook, so you’ll get creamy texture by following this recipe 👍
How long do you have to cook takoyaki for?
I bought some from a Japanese restaurant i liked it but the Bonito flakes were too overwhelming for me
😍😍😍 Lecker!
YOOOOO FINALLY!!!
Welcome back Tyson!!
I'm glad that you liked it !!👍😉
@@CHEFSLABO i want to be ur neighbor for sure
As bonito flakes are quite expensive where I live, is it possible to do this recipe with half the amounts of everything? Cutting down the recipe in half when it comes to quantities should still be good and proportioned right? I don't want to make too much because a whole 40g bag of Bonito is like 8 eur over here!
No worries Thai!!
Or you can use double amount of kombu, or bit more octopus to make richer dashi without bonito👍😉
@@CHEFSLABO I will use more kombu and less bonito then! Thank you. Is it ok to make half recipe for everything? Smaller portions so I don't get too fat too quick :D
@@CavFra No problems with 1/2 recipes my friend!! No worries👍
