In Japan, takoyaki is a popular street food made of a battered ball of octopus meat cooked in a special takoyaki pan. The takoyaki pan has small indentations to hold the batter and octopus pieces. Once the takoyaki balls are cooked, they are smothered in takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise, and then dusted with green laver (a type of seaweed) flakes.
If you don't have a takoyaki pan, don't worry – you can still make takoyaki in a regular oven.
Here's how to cook frozen takoyaki in an oven:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place the frozen takoyaki balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake the takoyaki for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the takoyaki from the oven and drizzle with takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise.
5. Sprinkle with green laver flakes and serve immediately.
How can I tell when frozen takoyaki is done cooking in an oven?
Assuming you are using a conventional oven, you can tell when frozen takoyaki is done cooking when the batter has cooked through and is golden brown in color. This will typically take 10-15 minutes. You can also test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a takoyaki; if it comes out clean, the takoyaki is done.
