Hello
Got any cool shrimp facts?
Tumblr media
Oh hello there, peculiar... Raccoon? Jester? Nevermind.
Ah, shrimp facts, you say? Hmm... I'm trying to think of one that isn't so common... Oh! Do you remember that shrimp in the dentist's fish tank in the movie, "Finding Nemo"? It's a type of cleaning shrimp, and when they're out in the wild, they do a silly little "dance" of sorts to catch the attention of fish for cleaning! I suggest you look it up on Youtube. Any possible parasites that may live on the fish are free food for them, and of course, the fish are happy to be... eh, parasiteless.
A sort of... Mutualistic symbiosis, if you will. I think it's fascinating.

@that-caffeinated-queer exploding, blowing up, torn to smithereens
the way the narrator loves stanley in that complete, all-encompassing, often destructive way a creative loves his creation and the way a tree loves the owl resting inside it and the way the lost soul loves their cheap entertainment. the way the narrator is bound to him in the way a prisoner is to his ball and chain and the way the earth is bound to the sun and the way the anchor is bound to the ship. the way you see how he literally slams the door shut on stanley in the ultra deluxe game awards trailer, holding freedom in front of his face and then yanking it away from him, opening up the floor and dropping him into his office and locking him in and showering him, drowning him in the profits of a potential revival and smothering him in the freezing, endless, yet safe sameness of the world he has built for them both, look, stanley, look at all the money we'll make, it'll make everything okay, stanley, i promise, let's go for one more round! the way he is so desperate for comfort and companionship that he loves stanley far too much for his own good and will never be free because to be free is to leave stanley...
the way the escape pod will only work properly if both the narrator and stanley are present, the player not mattering, it only matters that they're BOTH ready to go, ready to leave, ready to end this parable of theirs together, and the way the escape pod ending inevitably disables the narration far before that point because of course the narrator will NEVER be ready to leave, even if he tells himself otherwise in the figley ending- one last run with stanley, he says, and then the way the player never has to do the epilogue to end it. they can, if they choose, just keep playing as normal. the epilogue is not something that automatically follows the narrator's self-realization because it is not what he wants, and even if it was, it's too late for him to leave now.
the narrator keeping stanley trapped in the parable, traumatized and exhausted and just wanting a vacation but safe from the unknown, the narrator refusing to ever truly let stanley go, the narrator creating a wonderful room full of colorful light that they can both be happy in as long as they stay there forever,
the narrator refusing to be present for the escape pod sequence because he does not want to go, and stanley thinking about this as he arrives there with the bucket, his bucket, and sets it down in the pod and wipes its tears away and bids it goodbye and lets the bucket go...

Chicken Pot Pie! :D
this is an actual recipe, but I have not tested it so have no idea if its good.
Ingredients
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 lb. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tsp. fresh thyme
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. chicken stock
1/4 c. dry white wine
1 c. frozen peas
1/4 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (14-ounce) package all-butter puff pastry
1 large egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook, skin sides down, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken and transfer skillet to the oven. Cook, until the internal temperature of the thickest thigh registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Discard skins and bones, and chop chicken. 
Step 2Place skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Slowly stir in stock and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chicken, peas, and parsley. 
Step 3Cut puff pastry into a circle 1 inch larger than the outside rim of a cast-iron pie plate. (You may need to roll the dough on a lightly floured work surface to get it to size.) Place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer filling to pie plate and top with puff pastry; crimp edges. Brush puff pastry with egg. Bake, until golden brown, puffed, and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

hiii, do you have any good fall recipe recs? sweet or savoury I don’t mind I just regard you as a cooking god and am looking for inspiration

MY RECIPES:
SWEET POTATO PIE
MAKES: 1 x 8-9” pie
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes (2-3 potatoes) (3 cups flesh), whole, to be roasted
1 x 12 oz can evaporated milk
1 cup (200g) dark brown sugar
2 eggs
5 Tbsp (70g) butter, melted
1 Tbsp lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp cinnamon
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
a few cracks (⅛ tsp) freshly ground black pepper
+
1 disc (½ recipe) All-Butter Pie Crust*
*I’ve posted my pie crust recipe on tumblr before tagged “recipes”
DIRECTIONS
1. Roast sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with foil. Wash and scrub whole sweet potatoes. Pierce potatoes all over 3-5x with paring knife. Roast 45 minutes until fork tender. Let cool, then collect 3 cups flesh.
2. Prepare crust: Roll out pie dough (12-14” diameter circle, ¼” thick). Press into tin and crimp edges. Chill shaped shell in fridge or freezer until ready to use.
3. Preheat oven to 350°.
4. Make filling: Put all ingredients in food processor. Pulse 3-4x until smooth. (You can also use a blender, or simply beat ingredients until fully combined.)
5. Pour filling into pie shell.
6. Bake 45-60 minutes until puffed and firmly set (toothpick clean) everywhere except the very center, which should retain a very slight jiggle (but not look liquid). The center will set as it cools. Start checking at 45 minutes and continue baking at 5 minute intervals until set. (If crust gets too brown, shield edges with foil.)
7. Let cool completely before serving, at least 1 hour.
NOTES
Roast the potatoes whole, in the skins, so the sugars & starches properly caramelize. Do not steam or boil potatoes, even whole. They will take on water and make the filling soggy.
You can roast the potatoes up to 1 week in advance. Collect flesh day of.
PECAN PIE
MAKES: 1 x 8-9” pie
INGREDIENTS
2 cups (250g) chopped pecans
1 cup (200g) dark brown sugar
1 cup light or dark corn syrup
¼ cup (56g) butter
4 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon
+
1 disc (½ recipe) All-Butter Pie Crust
DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare shell: Roll out pie dough (12-14” diameter circle, ¼” thick), press into tin, crimp edges. Chill shaped shell in fridge or freezer until ready to use.
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Cook sugar syrup: In a saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, and butter to boil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to cook sugar. Take off heat. Let cool slightly, 3 minutes.
4. Temper eggs: In a bowl, beat eggs until lightened and frothy. Slowly, while whisking, pour ½ cup of warm syrup into eggs. Whisk to combine. Then, while whisking, slowly pour egg mixture back into the remaining syrup mixture. Whisk until smooth.
5. Whisk in vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
6. Pour chopped pecans into bottom of pie shell. Pour filling over pecans.
7. Bake 45-60 minutes until fully set everywhere except the very center, which should retain a very slight jiggle. The center will set as it cools. Start checking at 45 minutes and continue baking at 5 minute intervals until set.
8. Let cool completely before serving, at least 1 hour.
NOTES
Many recipes do not require you to cook the sugar before baking the pie. However, pre-cooking the sugar (and tempering the eggs) ensures the ideal gooey, silky, perfectly smooth texture.
Toast pecans if desired: Arrange pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in preheated oven 5-8 minutes.

Meet The Narrator!
Tumblr media
And it appears that there are two other characters to unlock in this lineup!
I’ll give you all the lore for main tsp AU once I reveal the design for the final character, but for now you get to learn about my Narrator!
The Narrator is a being known as an Informis Voxumis that has spent years observing humanity. The Narrator and other beings like him do not have natural physical forms, they’re just a voice/consciousness stretched across planes of dimensions and reality. This existence intersecting these planes can allow them to build physical forms for themselves, but it’s incredibly difficult to do so considering the matter that needs to be pieced together in a functional manner. It’s a miracle that The Narrator would eventually manage to pull it off. Informis Voxumis, or ‘Voices’ for something simpler, existed across the galaxy since near the beginning of time, but their numbers have dwindled to the point that The Narrator and his two cohorts have only interacted with each other, and while there’s still probably more out there, it’s unli they’ll ever meet. There are two more Entities similar to the Informis Voxumis that are also watching over Earth and the three Voices, but that’s a story for another day.
The Narrator’s Bio!
Tumblr media
(The Narrators fear and disdain for humanity is completely warranted. Not only are living things, to him, gross meat things that do awful gross stuff, but intelligent mortal beings are fully capable of killing or controlling the Informis Voxumis. How? Oh I definitely totally remember how and am certainly not stalling to tell you when I figure it out)
After spending years watching humanity The Narrator begins to grow bored, and while he’s weary about interacting with any aspect of Earth, he’s become insatiably curious. The Narrator gets the clever idea (in his opinion) to create a human and place it in a little sandbox he’s created to study the idiosyncrasies of humanity.
This is the start of The Parable.
Unfortunately for The Narrator, he doesn’t really know what he’s doing and while he thinks he’s making a completely original human, he’s actually plucked the recently deceased soul of one Stanley and has begun fiddling around with it. The original Stanley is mostly lost in this process, and beyond the few remanents left of Stanley, he is nothing more than a shell of what he once was, so at first he doesn’t really do much. The Narrator then has to tweak Stanley until he can move around, understand orders, etc. This creates a new Stanley with no memories of the past beyond what the Narrator has shoved into him for his character. This new Stanley starts out curious and optimistic, but you know how the story goes by now. He loses that optimism, starts doing everything he can to go against and irritate The Narrator, and they start butting heads. This begins their on again off again friendship and rivalry.
I’m still deciding when in the timeline it happens exactly, but The Narrator eventually makes his human form, partly to prove that he’s better than humanity and that he’d make a great human. Another repressed part of him did it because he was curious and lonely, and the most repressed part of him did it because he noticed how lonely, depressed, and touch starved Stanley was becoming. He doesn’t use it for a long time after making it, he hides it and doesn’t tell Stanley, but eventually he’s given the push he needed to try it out and finally greet Stanley in person.
He is immediately punched in the face.
Stanley doesn’t apologize, which is warranted, but that’s the moment they really start over and try to get along better.
That’s one(ish?) part done. Sorry if I’ve rambled on too much or if it’s disjointed. I’m honestly not used to writing things down like this and I needed to put what I had in my head out into the world. I’ll probably write a more comprehensive document or something, maybe answer questions, idk. It probably doesn’t help that there are certain aspects of this AU that I’m still trying to develop. I’ll need to make a separate things so I can make it clear exactly what’s going on with Stanley.
One final note, my Narrator does share a human name with one of @shinakazami1 Narrator’s from her lovely Ao3 fic “Destiny Surely Likes to Play Tricks” that she made with Taking_L’s. I wanted to make sure they got proper credit, and if you haven’t read it already, you really should! I’ll be posting a link to the fic separately since this post is already long enough.
Congrats if you managed to wade through my idea speghetti, good job! And thanks for all your lovely words in my last posts, it really makes my day!

Hello everyone. Thank you for your patience while I worked on transcribing this recipe. I tend to measure by eye and instinct, you see. So it took a bit to properly measure what I typically use and turn it into a usable recipe.
That being said, this is a recipe for a rather experienced baker, so don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get the hang of it. Feel free to leave me any comments or questions you may have.
As for the crust, any shortcrust recipe will work just fine. Pie crust or tart crust are acceptable alternatives as well.
Licht's Favorite Darioles
Ingredients:
1/4 cup blanched almonds
175 ml cold water
150 ml heavy cream
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp rosewater
1 cup minced strawberries
1 recipe of shortcrust pastry
Method:
Press pastry into mini tart tins. Prick the dough and divide the strawberries among the tins (these will act as pie weights during the blind bake)
Bake the crusts in a hot oven at 425°F/220°C for about 10 minutes until just starting to brown.
Pound the almonds until finely ground. Stir in the water and let sit for 10 minutes. Strain through a cheesecloth.
Measure out 150 ml of the mixture and mix with the heavy cream.
Whisk the eggs and sugar in a saucepan until homogeneous. (Take care not to whisk so much it turns frothy.)
Set over low heat and slowly stir in the cream mixture. Continue cooking while stirring constantly until thickened.
The custard is ready when it reaches nappe, meaning the consistency where it can coat the back of a spoon evenly, like so:
Tumblr media
At this stage, stir in the rosewater and remove from the heat. Pour into the cooled tart shells and shake a bit so the custard can properly coat the strawberries.
Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F/175°C for about 20 minutes until set. The center should still be a bit wobbly.
Cool completely and chill before serving.

cloud cookies with friends!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Debbie dropped by over here, bringing some nice rainstorms. In light of that, & needed to use up my extra ricotta from stuffed shells, I decided to do a little something I’ve seen around here as I baked some cloud cookies (soft ricotta cookies with a glaze). 🌧️
Sora (Castform) was watching the clouds & rain roll by as Rain (Vaporeon) helped me in the kitchen (very important that you know she helped!). Skye (Altaria) waited eagerly by the oven, & now these three sillies can’t wait to have one - gotta wait until “Ikrit” comes home! 🩵
See you with the next DxP REWRITE update on Sunday! Until then, stay safe! 
PS: I forget where I found this recipe online, but this is the one I use (plus a tiny bit of sparkly sugar before the glaze sets). Have fun! 🌧️ Cloud Cookies:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 of 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese (about a cup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350.
Line a baking sheet parchment paper.
Cream sugar & butter on low speed until light & fluffy.
Add ricotta, vanilla, & egg - mix.
Add dry ingredients - mix into a dough.
Scoop 12 cookies onto baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown & the tops bounce back.
Cool cookies on wire rack (careful, they’re soft!)
Prepare glaze - combine powdered sugar, vanilla, & milk (add more milk if it’s not liquid enough).
Glaze cookies when cookies are completely cooled.
Enjoy! Notes: For a lemony flavor: add 1 tbsp lemon zest to cookie dough, & substitute 1 tbsp milk for lemon juice to glaze (add milk if not loose enough) 🍋

[VERGO] Blank Scripts AU Self-Insert OC
[what is it with me giving tsp related characters names with a v in their name? /j]
Tumblr media
[This is for @blackkatdraws's Blank Scripts AU OC/Self-Insert event!]
This is Vergo! He's a husk of a man with a stupid face but i love him sdkjf. (I hope he fits into the au well enough! ive never made an oc for someone elses au so i hope hes okay! skdhf)
Some additional stuff i thought up while typing this post out:
Originally, he was supposed to have a cool monster/scary looking being inside of his shell, but i dont know how to draw that so we have static instead.
You can also find his discarded bodies randomly within the Parable if they haven't been digested yet.
He can be spawned/respawned at any point so theres a lot of him out there, but way more that are dead.
He's usually near Frederick and waits for any task or order to be given. Usually he just kinda stares blankly until someone talks to him or tells him what to do
his hands are the only thing not made of porcelain, theyre purely static, however to keep form and to also hide the static from everyone Vergo keeps them in gloves.
Took inspiration from Monument Mythos' LINCOLNLOOKER, the Horror Short Film "Goodbye" from ALTER with Kevan Brighting, and Emesis Blue :3
+ small doodle of him and Frederick just bc kdjsfsdkjfh

◻️ Make your own sweet chili sauce using a combination of hot sauce and honey for a personalized touch.
◻️ Add in extra toppings like grated carrot or minced mushrooms for more variety.
◻️ For a low-carb option, use lettuce wraps instead of wonton wrappers.

Lasagna Soup Delight This Lasagna Soup Delight is a comforting twist on traditional lasagna, combining rich flavors and cheesy goodness in a warm soup form. Perfect for chilly evenings! Ingredients 1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and sausage) 1 medium onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter version) 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried thyme ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat) Salt and pepper, to taste 8 oz broken lasagna noodles (or any pasta, like rotini or shells) 1 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese) 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish) Instructions Cook the Ground Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain excess fat if needed. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the diced onion to the pot with the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Add the dried basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook the Noodles: Once the soup is simmering, add the broken lasagna noodles (or preferred pasta). Stir to combine and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: While the soup is cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. This will be added to the soup to give it that lasagna-like richness. Add the Cheese: Once the noodles are cooked, drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture into the soup. Gently stir to incorporate, letting the cheese melt and create a creamy texture throughout the soup. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and flavor. This Lasagna Soup Delight is the ultimate comfort food with all the cheesy goodness and tomato-rich flavor of lasagna, but served up as a warm and filling soup. Enjoy a cozy bowl of this hearty dish!

How to make the perfect chocolate chip cookies
Try to impress someone. You need to be shaking with anticipation, you need to be impatient and lose the recipe right before you need to make it. You need to turn over the whole house to find it and then make cookies in the debris.
Whisk 3/4tsp salt and 3/4tsp baking soda into 1 1/2 cups of flour. Spill it on yourself. Do it again, right this time.
Heat 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan and forget to watch it. You were trying to make brown butter, but now you’ve made burnt butter. Pour it in the trash, start over. She’s worth it. Use salted butter this time because you ran out of unsalted. Brown it perfectly. Pour into a large bowl and put it in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool to room temperature.
Cut 1/4 cup of butter into tiny cubes. You could cut it smaller, but you want them to be warm and ready when she gets here and you don’t want to spend more time waiting. Take the butter out of the fridge a little too early. Stir in the chopped butter.
Once the butter has melted, whisk in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup dark brown sugar. Seperate the yolks from two eggs and add them, alongside one whole egg. Fish out the shells. Add 2 tsp vanilla.
Fold the dry mix into the wets. Get rid of any lumps, at least, as best you can when you’re pushed like this. Chop up 170 g of dark chocolate, or use dark chocolate chips. Mix in, then cover and rest in the fridge to hydrate and firm up. It will take more than 10 minutes, but you will get impatient after 8.
Realize you forgot to preheat the oven to 375 F. Shamefully put the cookie dough back in the fridge while you wait. Prep two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into small balls. Measure with your heart, which is thundering harder by the second. The drive is 3 hours, and she left 2 and a half hours ago. Every sound outside the door is her. You want to impress her so badly that it aches.
Put the prepped trays in the freezer for 5 minutes to set up and make sure they don’t spread in the oven. Last time, they did, and you ended up giving her cookie blobs. She didn’t know that you were ashamed of that. She loved them.
Bake for 5 minutes, then flip the trays around. Make sure you burn yourself a little. Bake for 4 more minutes and check them. They’re not done yet. Give them 3 more minutes.
Cool them just as she walks in the door. They won’t go down to room temperature now, because she makes every room so much warmer. You feel something jittering in your chest.
Watch her smile. She says something smells good. You feebly mention the cookies, and she lights up even more, taking one before it’s fully set up. It falls apart in her hands. Imperfect.
She doesn’t care.
The smile spreads across her face, through her body, like water going from a simmer to a rolling boil.
You’re not proud of the cookies, but she makes you want to be. You try them and they’re perfect only when she says they are. Only when you lean your head into her shoulder.

You and your boyfriend were arguing about who could bake the best Christmas cookies and you figured that the only way to find out was to have a competition. You both got all the ingredients you needed and once you both were ready to begin, the competition began.

He would have a little knowledge of baking but he figured that it couldn’t be that hard, right?
Wrong, when he looked up a recipe, he was extremely lost, did he even look up the correct thing?
He would trust in himself and just follow the recipe, he would get confused at the measurements and just eyeball it instead of figuring out the difference between a tsp and a tbsp
Besides the measurements, he followed the other instructions pretty accurately
When it was time to judge, his presentation was not the best but also not the worse
He sweat dropped when he saw how neatly decorated your cookies were and when he tasted them, he knew he lost
His cookies would taste too salty since his measurements were off which meant that you won
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐢𝐫𝐨
He knew a lot about baking since Nezuko would often bake and talk about it with him
He wouldn’t even look up a recipe, he would pull one from memory and somehow remember all the instructions and measurements
He made sure to mix everything well, place them in the oven for the perfect amount of time and then decorate them carefully
His cookies would be soft and chewy, not to mention delicious
He also thought your cookies were really good so he decided to call it a tie and he congratulated you
You both would eat all the cookies while watching a Christmas movie and cuddling
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐙𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐮
He would try so hard and would spend so much time trying to figure out how to read the measurements
His hands would be shaky when pouring the sugar or any other ingredients since he didn’t want to mess up
He almost had a mental breakdown during the baking process, he did not expect baking to be this hard
When all the cookies were ready, he was extremely nervous when it came to judging
His cookies were surprisingly tasty and he had never felt so much relief in his life
He still thought yours were better but this competition made him discover that he actually liked baking even though he was a nervous wreck the whole time
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝐈𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐞
He thought he could bake the best cookies without any guidance so he just mis random ingredients and think that they would be the best thing you’ve ever tasted
He would throw in two whole sticks of butter before drowning them in a whole bag of sugar
He would throw a lot of eggs in the mixture, shell and all before mixing them very roughly
He wouldn’t even divide them into parts, he would just dump the entire thing onto the pan, put it into the oven and crank the heat up all the way
When it was time to judge, you didn’t want to eat his cookies so you just let him win

★。:*・.Thaumoyaki Recipe .・*:。★
Tumblr media
Thaumoyaki, or Grilled Thaumo Balls, originated in Osaka and are one of Japan’s best-known street foods. Whether you make a traditional style with bits of Thaumo or choose creative alternatives, these ball-shaped dumplings are fun to make with your friends and family!
Tumblr media
Thaumoyaki is a Japanese snack in the shape of little round balls containing pieces of Thaumo. Thaumo-yaki literally translates to “thaumo-grilled/fried” and some people may call it “Grilled Thaumo Balls” or “Thaumo Dumplings”.
Tumblr media
PREP TIME: 15minutes mins
COOK TIME: 10minutes mins
TOTAL TIME: 25minutes mins
SERVINGS: 26 pieces
Tumblr media
INGREDIENTS
For the filling:-
3 g katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)

1 Tbsp pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga)
120 g Thaumo sashimi (boiled Thaumo)
For the Batter:-
120 g all-purpose flour (plain flour)

For Cooking:-
2 Tbsp neutral oil
15 g tenkasu/agedama (tempura scraps)
For the Toppings:-
120 ml Thaumoyaki sauce
Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise
katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
aonori (dried green laver seaweed)
pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga)
Tumblr media
INSTRUCTIONS
Gather all the ingredients.
To Prepare the Filling:-
Grind 3 g katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) into a fine powder. Set aside; we‘ll use this powder when we‘re cooking the Thaumoyaki.
Cut 2 green onions/scallions into fine slices and mince 1 Tbsp pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga).
Cut 120 g Thaumo sashimi (boiled Thaumo) into ½-inch (1.3-cm) bite-sized pieces
To Make the Batter:-
In a large mixing bowl, combine 120 g all-purpose flour (plain flour), 2 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt and whisk it all together.
Add 2 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell), 1 tsp soy sauce, and 360 ml dashi (Japanese soup stock).
Whisk it all together until well blended and transfer the batter to a measuring cup with a handle (or any other pitcher with a spout for easy pouring.)
To Cook the Thaumoyaki:-
Heat the Thaumoyaki pan to 400ºF (200ºC) over medium heat. Use a brush to generously grease the pan‘s rounded chambers and flat top surface with 2 Tbsp neutral oil. When smoke starts to rise, pour the batter to fill the chambers. It’s okay to slightly overfill the cavities. In the next steps, the batter will likely overflow as you add more ingredients to it.
Add 1–3 Thaumo pieces, depending on their size, to each chamber and sprinkle on top the katsuobushi powder that you ground earlier.
Sprinkle 15 g tenkasu/agedama (tempura scraps), the green onion slices, and the chopped pickled red ginger on top. After 3 minutes or so, when the batter on the bottom has set and is slightly crisp, use skewers to break the connected batter between each chamber. Then, rotate each piece 90 degrees (a quarter turn) toward the bottom of the pan, stuffing the connected dough back into the ball as you turn it. The uncooked batter will flow out from inside to create another side of the ball. After you finish turning them, set a timer for 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, rotate them again, starting with the first ball: Turn each Thaumoyaki another 90 degrees toward the bottom of the pan so the remaining uncooked batter pours out into the chamber to complete the ball shape. Home Thumoyaki griddles don‘t distribute heat evenly, so it’s a good idea to swap the balls around to different chambers so they brown evenly. After turning and cooking for another 4 minutes, they are done.

To Serve:-
Transfer them onto a plate and drizzle 120 ml takoyaki sauce and Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise on top. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and aonori (dried green laver seaweed) and a side of pickled red ginger (beni shoga or kizami beni shoga). Serve immediately. (But, be careful—they‘re VERY hot inside!)
Tumblr media
To Store:-
You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 2–3 weeks.
