How to cook Takoyaki

Instructions:

1. Make a batter by adding the cake flour, eggs, milk, and water to the bowl.
2. Mix until all the clumps of flour disappear.
3. Set the takoyaki pan on your stove top, heat it up, oil the pan and pour some takoyaki ingredients into the semi circle moulds. Turn the batter over with the prong to make them perfectly round. 
4. Brush oil on every part of the plate.
5. Add in around half of the batter.
6. Add in the octopus.
7. Add in the tenkasu.
8. Add in the shoga.
9. Add in the green onions.
   In general, feel free to add in as much or as little of each ingredient as you like.
10. Add in some more batter. You should do this until it overflows a bit.
11. Once a minute has passed, cut off the excess batter and tuck everything into their respective holes.
    
12. Once the pan's relatively clean, use the takoyaki picks to turn the takoyaki balls over, making sure that the picks touch the hot plate.
13. The trick is to fry them at 90-degree intervals.
14. After they're cooked to a certain point, start turning them around and around.
    When the surface turns light brown, they're done!
15. Add some sauce, along with as much mayonnaise, dried seaweed, and katsuobushi as you like.
