In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup of flour, a little bit of salt, and a little bit of baking soda.

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar and stir well with a whisk.

Add the same amount of water as the flour (1/2 cup) and mix well without developing gluten.

Set the taiyaki pan over the stovetop and pour some oil in the pan, spreading it around.

Turn on the heat and heat the pan well before pouring in the batter.

Add about 2 tablespoons of batter to each side of the pan, spreading it to shape.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of red bean paste (anko) in the center.

Pour more batter over the red bean paste to cover it.

Flip the taiyaki occasionally, adjusting the heat to low to medium, and check for doneness.

Add more butter if needed and shape the taiyaki as it cooks.

Once golden brown, transfer to a plate.
