Okonomiyaki (Japanese Savoury Pancake)
Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is another Japanese street food, like Yakisoba (Japanese Stir Fried Noodles) which I posted few weeks ago. The batter with loads of shredded cabbage is pan fried with egg, sliced meat, bonito flakes on top. Drizzle sweet Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and sprinkle aonori (青のり, green seaweed flakes), benishoga (紅しょが, red pickled ginger) and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) over it to make it a complete okonomiyaki. The recipe is to make one pancake at a time but you can make two at once if you have extra fry pan or large iron plate to cook on. Please note that cooking time is the time to cook one okonomiyaki or to cook two okonomiyaki at once.
