Tako Yaki

This is a traditional Kansai(Western Japan) dish. Made of flour, baking powder, dashi, eggs, milk, octopus, scallions, beni shoga, and ika kasu.

You basically make the batter, pour it into the individual molds and fill em up with little bits of octopus. Wait til it browns on one side and flip with a long toothpick.
When they are formed into little balls, they are ready to eat.

You want to eat them while they're piping hot with some special sauce and ao-nori (dried seaweed flakes).

This was my first time making them at home. They are Grrrrrrreat!
