TAKOYAKI 章魚燒

Takoyaki (章魚燒) is a Japanese street food that is ball-shaped and usually cooked with octopus.  Surprisingly it is not difficult to make at home.  All you need is a takoyaki pan and some basic ingredients.  I know it's not easy for us to get authentic ingredients, but we can still use our local produce as a substitute.
