Octopus and Soy Takoyaki

Originally from Japan, takoyaki are small dumplings filled with tender octopus, cooked to perfection in a frying pan until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

This recipe, developed by our technicians, introduces a twist with the use of our new vegetable gelling agent, Gracila Gel, to create a Soy Gel topping that further enhances the flavor and presentation of the takoyakis. The inclusion of this innovative ingredient adds a unique dimension to the gastronomic experience, offering a smooth texture and intense flavor that perfectly complements the octopus and the dough.

Takoyakis represent the essence of Japanese street cuisine, known for its creativity, bold flavors and precise techniques. This recipe captures the essence of this gastronomy, offering a delicious and surprising bite that will delight any adventurous palate.
