Octopus fritters

Cut the onion (half an onion) and the cabbage (about a quarter) very finely, preferably using a mincer so that the pieces are very small.

Add the flour and 2 of the eggs in a bowl and mix, when it starts to be difficult to stir, add the water little by little, stirring and making sure that the dough is not too light (if it is too liquid, add a little flour, but the dough should be quite loose).

Add the mayonnaise on top of the fritters in the desired proportion and enjoy. Note: The inside of the fritters is usually a little creamier, it is normal.

Once we have the previous steps well mixed we can strain the dough to avoid lumps of flour and once done add the chopped onion and cabbage, stir, add a tablespoon of soy sauce and salt to taste and stir again so that everything is well integrated.

Heat the takoyaki griddle with a little oil.

Cut the octopus into small enough cubes to fit in the center of each fritter.

Add the batter to the holes in the takoyaki plate without exceeding the upper limit, wait a few seconds and add a piece of octopus to each fritter. If you want you can add a little chopped chives in this step, but you can also add on top at the end of the whole process, or even omit this ingredient.

We wait a few minutes, between 3 and 5, and try to turn the fritters on their sides, then we will add dough until the holes are filled.

Wait again between 3 and 5 minutes, always attentive, and turn the fritter completely, leaving the most cooked part upwards. Try to hide all the leftover dough that remains on the surface of the griddle inside each fritter.

Leave the fritters between 3 and 5 minutes more (it will depend on the power of each griddle, I recommend that if you have several powers use the average).

Remove the fritters and start making the mayonnaise while they are cooling, we will use the remaining egg and beat it with a blender along with the olive oil and salt to taste until we get a consistency that we like (If you do not want to consume raw egg I recommend using another sauce that you like or replace the egg in the mayonnaise for another element, you can use an avocado and garlic sauce, for example).
