Takoyaki just got a serious upgrade. These crispy pulled pork fritters are built around Spiceology's Maui Wowee Hawaiian Rub — that signature pineapple-soy-sesame blend that turns a simple batter into something you'd expect to find at a food truck you'd wait an hour for. Fry them golden, dust with more Maui Wowee, and serve with chile mayo for a bite that hits sweet, savory, and spicy all at once.
