This is a recipe for Ankake Nagaimo Takoyaki that can be easily made in a frying pan without a takoyaki maker. The batter, featuring the fluffy and melty texture of Japanese yam, is generously topped with a thick, savory sauce, making it a perfect dish for the colder months. It's easy to make by simply mixing and frying.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Nagaimo (Japanese Yam) 100g
  • Egg 1
  • Rice Flour 1 tbsp
  • Cooked Octopus 30g
  • Tenkasu (Tempura Scraps) 1 tbsp
  • Chopped Scallions 10g
  • Potato Starch 1 tsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Water 1 tbsp
  • [A] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 2 tsp
  • [B] Water 100ml
  • [B] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tsp
  • [B] Soy Sauce 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Finely chop Cooked Octopus 30g into about 1cm cubes.
  2. Peel Nagaimo (Japanese Yam) 100g and grate it into a bowl.
  3. In the bowl with the grated nagaimo, add Egg 1, Water 1 tbsp, Rice Flour 1 tbsp, and Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 2 tsp. Mix well while beating the egg.
  4. Lightly oil a rectangular frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  5. Once the pan is hot, pour in the mixed batter. Then, spread Tenkasu (Tempura Scraps) 1 tbsp, Chopped Scallions 10g, and the chopped octopus evenly over the batter.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil or a lid and steam over low heat for 5 minutes.
  7. After steaming, if cooked through, insert a spatula at the bottom and fold in half.
  8. Place a plate on top, flip it over, and remove from the frying pan.
  9. (If using a standard frying pan) Lightly oil a 20cm frying pan and heat over medium heat.
  10. Pour in the mixed batter.
  11. Top with the ingredients.
  12. Cover with a lid and steam over low heat for 5 minutes.
  13. Insert a spatula at the bottom, lift both edges, and fold towards the center. (This is the key!) The batter is quite loose, so be careful when folding.
  14. Slide the cooked batter out of the pan and shape it with a spatula.
  15. In a small pot, combine Water 100ml, Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base) 1 tsp, Soy Sauce 1 tsp, and Potato Starch 1 tsp. Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps.
  16. Heat the small pot over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  17. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the finished nagaimo takoyaki.
  18. Scatter Chopped Scallions in the center and serve. Enjoy!
