Of course, I think you should mark the mistakes so I can fix them appropriately.

I'd heard of someone making this recipe, and it turned out well for them, but I might have gotten a lot confused.

Went online, searching : Found alternate recipe

Ingredients:

* 1 2/3 cup flour
* 2 1/2 cup dashi soup
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 lb. boiled octopus, cut into bite-size pieces
* 1/4 cup chopped green onion
* 1/4 cup dried sakura ebi (red shrimp)
* 1/4 cup chopped pickled red ginger
* *For toppings:
* fried bonito flakes
* aonori (green dried seaweed)
* Worcestershire sauce or takoyaki sauce
* mayonnaise

Preparation:
Mix flour, dashi soup, and eggs in a bowl to make batter. Thickness of the batter should be like potage soup. Put oil inside cups of a takoyaki grill pan. Pour batter into the cups to the full. Put octopus, red ginger, and green onion in each hole. Grill takoyaki balls, turning with a pick. When takoyaki become rounds and brown, remove them from the pan and place in a plate. Put sauce and mayonnaise on takoyaki and sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori on the top.
*makes 4 servings

I've viewed a few others online, and I see a few that are most like the one I posted in the first.
meh >.>'''
i didn't even bother reading the first recipe to be honest x]
but as for the second one~
it sounds about right
except for the sakura ebi thing >.>''
good luck finding that in your local supermarket =3
along w/ the tako >.>'''

btw =3
do you have 'any' intention of making these things that you've posted? o.O"



*mind you*
I have not researched 'any' of the corrections I've suggested
>.>''
I actually make them from time to time
lolz

Oh definately, especially the Yakitori. If there are any better recipes for that, I would love to hear them, because I'd like to get it right the first time.
I love cooking, I just think getting some of the ingredients would be difficult.

I wouldn't mind hearing your corrections, suggestions leaves everyone with a wider variety. Recipes are constantly being adjusted.

Thank you !

unless you have a proper japanese distributor ......
good luck getting your hands on quality ingredients >.>'

Substitutes are substitutes....
and that's all they are~
they (especially for japanese cuisine) can never fully replace the original ingredients >.>'

True, I think I might have to travel to find these ingredients though or do some research online to see the closest store that sells them..

I would especially appreciate it if someone could give me a successful recipe of Yakitori. ^_^
I've been excited to try this, but I'm not sure where to look exactly.
I'm not sure if the recipe I found is accurate.

1. Omit the Honey. There's already sugar there AND the Mirin. Adding honey just Americanises the dish.
2. It's better of you baste the chicken while cooking it over a flame or charcoal.... just letting chicken marinate for a few minutes isn't going to do anything but leave you with tasteless chicken >.>'
3. Yakitori means shiny chicken =3
not "skewered chicken"
4. Recipe TOTALLY omits the soaking of the skewers in water for atleast 30 minutes prior too cooking in order to prevent scorching of the wood >.>
5. Don't use "SOYA" sauce. it's bad for you. Instead opt for a more natural "soy" sauce ^_^
6. American supermarkets now a days are a bit better equipped with foreign ingredients than your recipe suggests >.>'
Oh yeah! *marks recipe*
Thank you so much!
I'll definately look into these.
