Octopus meatballs, also known as "octopus yaki", are a famous snack originating from the Osaka area of Japan. Nowadays, in the streets and alleys of many cities in China, there are also some vendors pushing small cars to sell along the street. The cars are always surrounded by children of all sizes, including big, small, and half big. Although it's freshly cooked and sold, I always feel uneasy looking at the batter, the unclear ingredients, and the dark sauce< br>

Steps to make Octopus balls

1. Wash and peel the yam, grind it into a paste. If you don't have this small tool, you can use a silk eraser;
2. After sieving the low gluten flour, put it together with yam paste and eggs in a bowl;
3. Add water and baking powder, stir evenly, and sieve once;
4. Pour the batter into a container with a mouth (convenient for pouring into the mold), and let it stand aside. At this point, you can prepare other materials;
5. Wash the octopus (squid) and blanch it in boiling water for 10 seconds, then remove it and let it cool;
6. Cut octopus (squid) into pieces;
7. Cut cabbage into pieces
8. Cut onions into small pieces;
9. Evenly sweep a layer of peanut oil onto the octopus burning mold;
10. Heat the mold over high heat, then reduce the heat and pour the batter into the mold until it is about 8-9 minutes full;
11. Sprinkle octopus (squid) pellets, onion pellets, and cabbage pellets into each meatball in sequence, and use a bamboo stick to scoop the spilled ingredients into the meatballs;
12. Fry over low heat for a while, gently flick the edges of the meatballs with a bamboo stick, check if the bottom has solidified and hardened, then use a bamboo stick to pick up the meatballs and flip them over half to let the batter on top flow down;
13. Flip your whole body over again, with the original bottom facing upwards, and the meatballs have formed;
14. Continue frying, stirring the meatballs multiple times in the middle to evenly heat them until they turn golden on top and bottom;
15. Pick out the meatballs and put them on a plate. Sprinkle the sauce first
16. Sprinkle salad dressing again;
17. Next is the broken seaweed
Finally, there is the wooden fish flower. The light and graceful wooden fish flowers dance gracefully under the heat of the meatballs——
