Sweet Potato

Difficulty: Very Easy

Time: 45min

Number of servings: 18 (2-inch-long oval pieces)

Ingredients:

600g (1.3lb.) sweet potatoes

4 tbsp. granulated sugar

4 tbsp. heavy cream or milk

4 tbsp. butter

a few drops of vanilla extract

1 egg yolk for egg wash

toasted black sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Cut sweet potatoes into small chunks and soak in water to remove starch and prevent discoloration.

3. Drain and mash with a fork in the pot. You can strain to purée if you have time.

4. Add butter, sugar, heavy cream (or milk is ok), and vanilla extract, then mix well. If you think the mixture is too soft, you can heat it to dry out a little bit.

TAKOYAKI Party (Octopus Balls) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

How you make the batter is the key. My mom uses Takoyaki flour and tasty Dashi broth, then makes the batter bit loose and less salty. In this way we can eat Takoyaki forever with No Sauce 😂👍

Serving Takoyaki with Dashi broth is our typical family style. Sometimes we put sauce then pour over the Dashi but this time, no one used the sauce because the batter was a success. Making the batter from scratch is not easy for the beginners, so I recommend using Takoyaki flour for No Sauce like this one 😉 https://amzn.to/3nKsbDG

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese ball-shaped snack made of batter, diced octopus, tenkasu (tempura scraps), beni shoga (red pickled ginger), and aonegi (green onion), topped with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori (green laver), and katsuobushi (bonito flakes). Slightly crispy on the outside and creamy inside.
