Osaka Street Food & Understanding Dashi

Soak a large piece of konbu seaweed in water overnight and then remove it.

Shave katsuobushi using a machine or by hand until it becomes wispy flakes.

Submerge the shaved katsuobushi in the konbu water for a few minutes to create Dashi.

Prepare takoyaki batter and pour it into half-moon molds.

Embed a tiny piece of octopus into each sphere of batter in the molds.

Cook the takoyaki until fully cooked, then top with semi-sweet sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, smoked and dried tuna shavings, and powdered seaweed.

At a local market, shop for ingredients for okonomiyaki, including fried shrimp, Mitaki mushrooms, and caboca squash.

Prepare a vegetarian version of okonomiyaki using the local ingredients, topped with Q mayo and dried tuna shavings.
