What's the name of the sawdust on the octopus balls?

The sawdust on the octopus balls is Muyu flower.

Not only does octopus have fish eyes, but it is also used in many Japanese foods. The reason why it moves is because the Muyu flower itself is relatively light and will flutter when it meets hot air. Braised octopus originated in Osaka, Japan, also known as octopus balls. Its main ingredients are octopus, roasted fish powder, dried fish fillets, laver, salad dressing, roasted octopus sauce and so on. Known for its crispy skin and tender meat, it is delicious and cheap, and it is a well-known national snack in Japan.

Later, octopus balls became popular in Southeast Asia and became one of the emerging foods in various regions. Muyu flower is one of the essential accessories in the production of octopus balls. Muyu flower is made by slicing bonito after deep drying, and it tastes tough and delicious. Muyu flower can not only be added to the production of octopus balls, but also be made into soup, which is delicious.

The origin of octopus balls

Octopus balls, also known as octopus balls, have a history of more than 80 years in Japan. It is said that octopus Shaowan originated from Ai Zuye, the founder of Osaka octopus Shaowan franchise store. Endo Ryuji first added meat, konjac and so on. Put it in the prepared wheat flour batter, fry it and sell it at the food stall.

Later 1935, Ryuji Endo began to use octopus as raw material and add seasonings to the batter. Fried octopus balls are very popular. Because each octopus ball contains fresh octopus, which is delicious, fragrant and nutritious, it is widely favored by consumers, so it is called octopus ball, also known as octopus roast. Soon, octopus roasting spread from Osaka to Japan.
