Taiyaki Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until nearly heated through, about 1 minute.
• Mix cornstarch and 1/4 cold water together in a cup; stir until dissolved. Add to the saucepan. Cook and stir sauce until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt in a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Sift the ingredients into the bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the milk, egg and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking. Whisk just until the batter is smooth (don't overmix), then cover the bowl and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• When you're ready to make the taiyaki, heat a closed taiyaki pan over low heat. Meanwhile, divide the anko into 6 portions and place them on a plate. Shape each portion into a cylinder roughly 2 inches long and 2/3 inch wide, tapering each slightly at 1 end.
• Open the pan and lightly brush the molds on the top and bottom with oil. Ladle in or pour from a measuring cup enough batter to fill the 2 bottom molds about halfway (about 2 tablespoons each). Place 1 portion of anko in the center of each bottom mold, putting the tapered end toward the tail. Cover the bean paste with 1 to 2 more tablespoons of batter (see Cook's Note). Close the lid and immediately invert the pan on the burner, holding it firmly shut. Let cook until golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Invert the pan again and cook until the bottoms of the fish are golden brown and the batter is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Using tongs or chopsticks, gently and carefully transfer the taiyaki to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter and anko, lightly greasing the molds between batches. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Cooking time is actually UNKNOWN and will likely vary with stoves!
• Stir flour, water, salt, and sugar thoroughly. Add baking soda.
• Heat the Taiyaki-ki (fish mold) on both sides briefly so it is warm, not in intense heat.
• Spread the oil in the Taiyaki-ki and pour the mixed ingredients into the Taiyaki-ki filling it half way.
• Put Azuki beans over the mixed ingredients in the Taiyaki-ki.
• Pour additional mixed ingredients on Azuki filling the Taiyaki-ki.
• Close the Taiyaki-ki and heat both sides turning the Taiyaki-ki over at intervals.
• Let it cool and enjoy the Taiyaki.
• Additionally, a Taiyaki-ki, or fish mold, is needed to make Taiyaki. You can purchase one through yahoo stores.
