Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is one of those Japanese dishes that I like very much and I finally was able to get all the ingredients that I needed to make this. Okonomiyaki is really like a Pizza, japanese style. But when I did it, mine looked more like a pancake :D. This is how it out to look like, in a restaurant..

This image was borrowed from Travel To Japan website.

This is what mine looked like.Not sure why the entire photo color is orange but then it was only a camera phone.


Here's another picture of my okonomiyaki.


It was very easy to do and quite tasty. Here, this recipe was taken off a brochure they were handing out at that nice little Japanese shop at Mid Valley, The Gardens. Haha.. finally got the name of the shop.


I already halved everything in the recipe as I think one full pan of okonomiyaki is quite enough for 1 meal.

Ingredients

100g okonomiyaki flour
2 eggs
100 cc of water
250g of cabbage
50g of meat ingredient (chicken/beef/squid/prawn) - I didn't add any... coz I didn't have any in the freezer
50g of vegetable ingredient (mushrooms/onion/ corn) - I only used mushrooms and onion)

Garnishing

Brown okonomiyaki sauce
Mayonnaise
Dried Bonito flakes
Green seaweed flakes

Method

1. Slice cabbage finely
2. Finely cut up the ingredients that you want to add
3. Mix okonomiyaki sauce, eggs and water together in a big bowl and stir until frothy
4. Add cabbage into the mixture
5. Pour in all the finely cut ingredients into the batter and mix thoroughly
6. Heat some oil in the frying pan
7. When oil is hot, pour all the batter mix into the frying pan and fry in medium heat
8. When the bottom surface of the okonomiyaki has turned golden brown, flip it over
9. Once both sides have turn golden brown, serve it on a plate
10. Garnish it with the okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise
11. Sprinkle the bonito flakes and the seaweed flakes just before serving
