Preparation Steps for Octopus Torchon

1

Sous Vide Octopus

Prepare the octopus by cleaning and vacuum sealing it with soy sauce. Sous vide at 85°C (185°F) for 4 hours. Once done, remove from the bag and let it cool before slicing.

2

Make the Dashi Waffle Batter

In a bowl, whisk together the dashi stock, water, egg, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.

3

Cook the Waffles

Preheat a waffle maker. Pour the batter into the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy.

4

Assemble the Dish

Top the dashi waffle with sliced sous vide octopus. Drizzle with takoyaki sauce and kewpie mayo. Garnish with pickled ginger, chopped scallions, furikake, and bonito flakes.
