Prepare Fillings

  • Thinly slice banana or dice until becomes "mush".

    taiyaki pan
  • Place taiyaki pan on gas stove. Turn on stove to low or medium heat.
  • Once the coconut oil has melted, pour batter to fill the bottom two fish molds up to the edge.
  • Using chopsticks or spoon, spread batter so the entire fish mold is covered, especially the head, tail, and fins.
  • Using a spoon, put fruit fillings on top of the batter.
    taiyaki pan
  • Pour a thin layer of batter on top of the fruit filling.
  • Close the taiyaki pan tightly and latch the handles together with the hook.
  • After about 2 minutes, turn the taiyaki pan over (180 degree).
  • Open the pan to check if the bottom of the "fish" is golden brown.
  • If not yet golden brown, close pan, flip it back over, and repeat this process as needed.
  • Once it's ready, cook the opposite side of the "fish" until golden brown.
  • Open the taiyaki pan, and flip upside down. The fish should stick to the top inside of the pan.
  • Gently use a toothpick or chopsticks to carefully remove taiyaki from the pan.
