Okonomiyaki for Real! Recipe

Last night after my hat post I was inspired to make Okonomiyaki for dinner, I had never made it before but it was a lot easier than I thought. I never post recipes but since it a really easy Japanese comfort food recipe I thought I'd share.

Ingredients (makes 2-3 servings)
*1 cup Okonomiyaki Flour (4 oz)
*3/4 cup water
*shredded cabbage (10 oz)
*2 stalks of scallion (green onion)
*2 eggs
*9 pcs Sliced pork belly (I used bacon)
*Otafuku Okonomi Sauce ( I used Kagome Tonkatsu sauce, since it's what I had)
*two tablespoon of cooking oil
*Kewpie mayo (optional)
*bonito flakes (optional)




In a large bowl combine the water and flour and you should have a sticky paste. Then fold the scallions, cabbage, and eggs into the mixture.
Divide mixture into 2 to 3 parts depending how many you want to make.

Add oil to medium skillet/frying pan at medium to low heat.

Add mixture portion to pan into 1/2" patty and layer 3 pieces of pork belly/bacon on top of the patty.



Cook for 3 minutes or until brown on the bottom, then flip to meat side and cook for 4 minutes or until pork is fully cooked. Flip one more time so meat side is up and should be golden and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove patty from pan.





That's it!!!Super easy! Now the fun part, top the okonomiyaki patty with okonomi sauce and garnish if you like with mayo and bonito flakes, I personally love the mayo on it.



There are many combos of okonomiyaki you can try one of these too:

• Shrimp, corn, and green onion
• Beef, grilled onions, and kimchi
• Pork, green peas, and bean sprouts
• Seafood combination: octopus, shrimp, & squid

Enjoy!!!
