みなさんこんにちは、美樹のブログです。

先日、大学祭がありました。大学のお祭りです。私はこのお祭りで、友達と一緒にたこ焼きのお店を出しました。たこ焼きとは、近畿地方で有名な食べ物です。小麦粉と卵、水などで作った生地の中に、小さく切ったタコを入れて3センチから5センチのゴルフボールのような丸い形に焼き上げます。たこ焼きを作るためには、専用のたこ焼き機という鉄板を使います。たくさんの丸い穴が空いたこの鉄板に生地やタコを入れて、専用の先のとがった道具でくるくる回しながら丸いたこ焼きを作るのです。
焼きあがったたこ焼きにソースやマヨネーズをかけたら出来上がりです。

大学祭ではたこ焼きのお店を出す人が多いので、私達にはたくさんのライバルがいました。そこで、私達はたこ焼き機を使ってお菓子も作って売る事にしました。生地は小麦粉の代わりにホットケーキの粉を使い、中に入れる具はタコの代わりにチョコレートやドライフルーツを入れました。焼き上がった後、ソースの代わりにチョコレートソースをかけるとたこ焼きそっくりです。
このお菓子は生地が焼き上がるころには、中のチョコレートがとろとろになってとてもおいしかったです。私達のお店は大成功でした!

みなさんは学校や地域でのお祭りではどのようなことをしますか?
みなさんだったら、たこ焼きの中に何を入れたいですか?

それではまた来週!

楽しい。。。また、私は一人目です。このプロゲは易しい。 :oops:

I am so happy I can finally understand Miki’s blog. This is the first blog I listen and able to fully understand. I attempted last month, but I couldn’t understand. I will now go back to the very first blog and listen again. Thanks a lot Miki. :wink:

I like to eat takoyaki too, it is may favorite Japanese food. Whenever I see it I will always buy it, and I will buy a lot.Unfortunately, I have never seen it anywhere in the US, I have only seen it in Asian countries.

美味しそう!たこ焼きを食べに行きたい.
そのお菓子も食べたい.

一つの質問があるなんですけど…
小麦粉とホットケーキの粉はどう違いますか?

Sasquatchua says:

When we were visiting our friends in Osaka earlier this year, they had a gathering of local friends and family where takoyaki was the main attraction. Since my wife and I are vegetarian, “tako yaki tako nuki” quickly became the running joke of the party.

annie says:

When I make pancakes I use 小麦粉, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk

So, what exactly is in ホットケーキの粉? What do you need to add to make hotcakes?
Maybe it’s like American Bisquick…

markystar says:

annieさん、yeah, it’s just like bisquick! you add a cup of milk and an egg and mix it up. :wink:

たこ焼食べるの久しぶりだなー

Neil says:

Obviously, we need a branch-off Japanese cooking show Japanesecookingpod101 to discuss these intricacies, options, and sharing of recipes. :razz: Cooking is a great part of any culture.

I’m from Paris France and we’re lucky to have one restaurant where we can get takoyaki. the sell them only from 6pm to 10pm tho but it’s still better than nothing.
Next time i’ll go to japan (hopefully november this year), i’ll probably buy a takoyakiki to make them at home

John says:

Hi, I’ve been making takoyaki at home (Seattle) for a while now. Got a bad jones for it this weekend, didn’t have any of the bagged batter mix, so I tried Bisquick.
Worked perfectly. Would have been a little better if I had used Dashi instead of water for the liquid, but here you go;
1c. Bisquick, 1 egg, 1c. water (dashi) Makes 24 balls.

I’ve been experimenting with fillings too, try using chinese sausage sometime, I almost like it better than octopus. I make “Breakfast balls” sometimes, with bacon onion and cheese, also yummy.
