Takoyaki!!!

the takoyaki in the electric skillet

If you don't know what takoyaki is let me tell you! it's basically grilled octopus tentacles in a breaded ball. These things are so good! the dough is like pancake batter but thinner and mixed with green onion and diced cabbage, they get this round shape by turning them in the divoted skillet with a stick until they are golden brown. plating is just as fun as spinning them over and over....you put them all on a plate, drizzle a special sauce them, do the same with mayo, sprinkle benito (dehydrated fish flakes).....this part is cool cause once they make contact with the hot takoyaki they begin to spaz out in a sense and just move all crazy with the heat. And the very last thing that you put on is the crushed seaweed type thing (I forget exactly what it is). Then you eat and enjoy the warm creamy ball.....so good!
