since i love you guys so much, i’ll teach you my secret tako recipe.
the most important thing is to freeze your tako. don’t ask why, just freeze it!
then thaw it out, pour over salt, and massage it for a couple minutes. then rinse in cold water.
put the stove on medium heat, drop the tako in the pot, add a cup of sake and mirin. cover it and set the timer for 40 minutes.
i put my stove on level 4 which is perfect.
40 minutes later, turn off the heat and let the tako cool down.
then cut it into small pieces. take a sample and you’ll be in heaven soon.
then get out the takoyaki machine and call over your friends.
crack open a cold beer, sit around the takoyaki machine, and watch it cook.
from the ocean to the table. from Japan to Hawaii. enjoy the best takoyaki in the world right here at my house. and when you’re done, thank Osaka for introducing this wonderful dish, and thank the ocean for providing food for us. oishi yade!
