Take out kombu and keep it aside for another recipe. For takoyaki fillings, use rehydrated shiitake mushrooms. Instructions for preparing the takoyaki Bread the rehydrate shiitake mushroom into small chunky pieces. Chop the green onions and Beni shōga. Keep it aside for later use. Take a bowl, add flour, baking powder, vegan dashi, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix them well until they are well incorporated. Make a thin batter. On medium flame, preheat the takoyaki pan.
