The takoyaki was tasty even after 4 rounds of trying to get it perfectly round and evenly colored. The 1st round was horrible. It took me a while to learn how to get used to flipping and turning it again. The filling was consisted with squid, red ginger, and scallions. My boyfriend really liked it and complimented on it, so it made me feel pretty good about the end result.
ReplyDeleteI actually had quite a hard time turning them as well. You should make some for my sister, she kept saying that she wants to have some!
