Step 1

Prepare the kabocha by peeling and chopping it into small pieces. Steam until tender.

Step 2

In a bowl, mash the tofu until smooth.

Step 3

Add steamed kabocha and mix well.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, dashi, and eggs to form a smooth batter.

Step 5

Combine the kabocha-tofu mixture with the batter. Add soy sauce and mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

Heat a takoyaki pan and lightly oil each compartment. Pour the batter into each compartment, filling halfway.

Step 7

Place a piece of shiso and a few tempura scraps in each compartment. Cook until golden, turning frequently to form balls.

Step 8
