Three Step Japanese Okonomiyaki Recipe
Savory, filling and delicious Japanese vegetable pancakes, Okonomiyaki! In this recipe, I share how to make OSAKA style Okonomiyaki at home in three easy steps: cut, mix and cook!
Ingredients
Okonomiyaki Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 2 TBS bonito powder
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 eggs
Okonomiyaki Fillings
- 5 leaves cabbage
- 10 shrimp (no skin, no tail) cut each shrimp into 2 or 3 pieces
- 8 slices bacon cut them in half
Okonomiyaki toppings
- 1/4 cup Okonomiyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup Kewpie Mayo
- 1 TBS Aonori (green laver) Add if you would like
- 1 tsp sliced pickled ginger Add if you would like
- 1/4 cup bonito flakes Add if you would like
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add all the Okonomiyaki batter ingredients and mixed them up until you don't see crumbles of flour
- Slice cabbage leaves, cut shrimp into small pieces and add them to the batter and mix well. (This is also where you add any ingredients you would like to add to your Okonoimyaki)
- Grease and heat up your electric griddle at 350 F or a pan on a medium heat
- Use 1/2 cup and scoop up the Okonomiyaki mixture. Evenly spread it on the griddle or pan and cook it covered or non-covered till the bottom of Okonomimyaki is golden brown
- When the bottom of Okonomiyaki is nice and golden brown, place a few thin bacon pieces on top and flip it to cook the other side for 5 mins or till it's golden brown
- When the bacon side of Okonomiyaki is cooked completely, remove it from the griddle or pan and place it on a plate
- Spread some Okonomiyaki sauce, add kewpie mayo (have fun making a fun pattern!) and any other toppings you would like to add to your Okonomiyaki
- Enjoy your savory vegetable pancake!
