Why was the stuff on top of my Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) moving?

Question:


I ordered some Takoyako at a Japanese resturant, and the stringy stuff on top of the balls were moving. An idea what it was? I've only had it once before, and I don't remember seeing the stringy stuff move.

Answer:


Don't worry it is not alive! It is just Katsuobushi which is dried bonito flakes. The heat and steam of the Takoyaki makes it look like its moving or curling up.
