Ingredients
- 250g flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 80g corn flour
- 350ml dashi stock
- 2 eggs
- 200g pork belly, skin off and sliced thin
- 1/4-1/2 green cabbage, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp pickled ginger, diced
- Handful tempura batter bits (optional)
- 100ml otafuku okonomi sauce
- 100ml Japanese mayo
- Handful bonito flakes
- 2 spring onions
- Nori, ground
Method
1. Start by seasoning the cabbage and sit aside.
2. Next, mix the batter by placing the flour, baking powder and cornflower into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and dashi stock.
3. Using a whisk, mix until you have a relatively smooth batter.
4. Add the sliced spring onion whites, cabbage, tempura bits and pickled ginger to the batter and stir through.
5. In a nonstick pan or on a flat top, start with a small amount of oil, then put strips of your pork followed by a nice large mound of the pancake batter.
6. Cook this for 5-6 minutes before you flip it over and continue to cook for a further 5-6 minutes or until it is cooked through.
7. Remove from the pan and garnish with okonomi sauce, Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, the greens of the spring onion and the Nori seasoning.
8. Enjoy!

お好み焼き (Okonomiyaki) roughly translates to "how you like it grilled" or "whatever you want grilled", so your emphasis of putting whatever you want in is very in spirit. Looks great, おいしい！

[@user-rd1hz1gl8h]

You nailed it!!! That's exactly how we cook Okonomiyaki in Japan🇯🇵!!!!Sauce you used is the most famous one in Japan called "Otafuku sauce." 日本の皆さん。彼は本物ですね！！

I have so much cabbage and I was looking for a new way to use it up. I think I have to try this. It‘s a street food, isn‘t it?

[@megabain]

KZbin is working its magic. My GF is cooking your recipe of Okonomiyaki right now and Im watching this video. What a day!

[@andy_cooks]

Perfect 👌

[@jasminep6195]

After hearing chefs in their videos say “it’s not the same without Kewpie mayo” I didn’t believe them until I bought some myself. I haven’t purchased any other mayo every since 🥲😂

[@AzureEclipse98]

Kewpie mayo is that good huh? I need to try it

[@j453]

It's that good huh? Best mayo I've had was uhh I forget the brand but it was an organic garlic infused mayo. I was shocked at how much better it tasted (I've never had the kewpie mayo though)

[@andy_cooks]

My mother in law is the same, refuses to have any other mayo now 😀

[@garnettspontini1011]

Oh its so good, i made my own but i need to buy the real stuff. But mine was delicious.

Really love these type of cooking videos where it's just chill and not so much of the usual loud voice and over exaggerated actions handling the ingredients that homemade cooks do in their contents.

[@stubryanfull]

and not titled, THE BEST MOST AWESOME EVER! . that modesty is appreciated, especially as it turned out so good.

Born in Osaka to an Okan mom, living in the US. Really appreciate this video. Will make okonomiyaki for my American/Japanese daughter tomorrow.

Damn, you nailed it Andy!!! I truly have so much love and respect for you, the variety of dishes that you make, and you're such a great teacher!! Looking forward to more vids

[@benfennell4251]

My missus makes this all the time. Some cheats to make it even easier for home cook but still get max flavour Just get pre made okonomiyaki flour from a japanese/asian grocery - there's a few companies, I like the one with the red label best Dice up some British Butcher Co Smoked Bacon and fry it up nice and crispy, add into your mix Instead of tempura you can use Panko breadcrumbs Instead of Dashi we use Miso w/ hot water We don't like pickled ginger, our toppings are bonito, the sauces, spring onion and a shake of furikake (the seaweed and white seasame seed one)

Ate this at the last day of a trip in Japan, it was awesome. Traveled 300km (a lot for European standards) to a restaurant to relive it but it didn't taste the same. Next step is to make it myself I guess. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Thank you so much for this recipe Chef, it look and taste so good ! There's restaurants in Tokyo and other cities, where you can make your own Okonomiyaki while sitting at a solo table with all the ustensiles and a cooking plate. Something common in Japan but kinda unusual elsewhere !

We made this a ton in college. Got lucky with having a great Asian grocery near by. We just got the okinomiyaki flour. Used a box grater for the cabbage and honestly my preferred over shaved.

Thanks for the reminder Andy. Just made this for breakfast/brunch and it was phenomenal. Didn’t have any kewpie mayo to hand but that’s ok. After all okonomi means “what you like” and yaki grilled or cooked! OISHI!

@Andy I thought the Okonomiyaki was gonna be my favourite part of this vid, but turns out the Korn Flour container was the star of the show for me 😂😂 So good mate haha....I'm not sure quite why I found it so amusing 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for doing this recipe though, some of my best Japan moments were with 'big beer' sitting on one of those hotplate tables getting Okonomiyaki flipped up in from of us with all the epic variations...I think a Kimchi one was my favourite 😍

[@goedefeld]

Great, I will try that next week. I would be interested in your recipe for ramen.

[@TheRealLiamLarnach]

Andy a classic ingredient in Okonomiyaki is Nagaimo(slimy potato) they add it to the batter after making it into oroshi, just whisk it in it adds a creamy texture. try it next time!

I love Okonomiyaki. If you ever get the chance to visit Kyoto, go to Chabana near Kyoto station

[@EphemeralThought]

Great and quick reminder for how to knock out some Okonomiyaki, thanks! I saw a great restaurant video of a place in Japan that specializes in Osaka-style Okonomiyaki loaded with freshly-shucked oysters in place of the bacon/pork belly. May try that variant as soon as I can source some good oysters.

[@CRZ38L]

Awesome video mate. We were lucky enought to get to Japan for the 2019 RWC and tried both Osaka and Hiroshima versions. I did prefer the Hiroshima version but the Osaka version does seem the more home friendly version. Can't wait to give this a try at home.

Never heard of this cuisine, will have to try it, thanks for sharing. Ka pai kai.

Chef, I want to thank you for taking me around the world. It does look yummy. I would try this but I would have to leave the Bonito off. I think that is a fish, allergies. Now if I can only get you to Cajun country in the US and cook some jambalaya. 🙃

[@andy_cooks]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@DamplyDoo]

My wife makes okonomiyaki, the key is having a local asian/japanese grocer and the right ingredients

[@yomae1816]

Looks good Andy! For a bit more traditional, I’d recommend to put grated yam to decrease amount of flour. You won’t need corn starch or baking powder :)

[@TheMimiSard]

I have a though that a good vegetable filler for these is the coleslaw packets that Coles sells. The packs are one of the pre-cut salad packets and contains white cabbage, red cabbage, and shredded carrot. I'd also add sliced onion. But then I generally think those coleslaw packets make good stirfry and soup vegetables as well, even the bigger packets, some of which have a pouch of dressing included which I don't use. It is the convenience of pre-cut veg.

[@phiellewoodward4933]

Can I request a recipe? Can you show me your version of a Filipino dish called sinigang? Thanks.

[@damndan]

Would love to see making of Hiroshima Style Okonomiyaki if you could be so awesome! I used to make it on the griddle when I lived in Japan near Iwakuni and actually never realized what was in it. Thanks!

[@treefarm3288]

I learned a few things from this video, thanks! I love making okonomiyaki but being a vegetarian whenever I am in Japan I am afraid to order it since they always add fiah sauce or the like. Also all our Asian food shops here in north Queensland have closed but I find HP sauce approximates the right taste. I also often add cooked lentils or freekeh to the batter.

Okonomiyaki, great as a standalone dish. Amazing with sake. Day 5 of recommending Korean noodles (Janchi-guksu) 🇰🇷 Wheat noodles, eggs, dried seaweed, various vegetables in a clear anchovy broth. Takes ~10 min with ingredients prepped

[@julienorbury6509]

My little twist is to use wasabi flavoured mayo. Not for everyone I'm sure, but I love that extra zing. I cook vegetarian so usually mushrooms for the filling, and fried shallot instead of bonito on top. Yum!

Day 1 of asking chef to make masala dosa

[@alicespaulding1474]

Well done, chef! It is a bit scary turning the okonomiyaki, but you did great! We like shrimp and/or bay scallops in our okonomiyaki. Also love verrrry thin slices of Berkshire pork. (I'm in the US).

VERY GOOD DEFINETELY RECCOMEND IT. The only downside is the time it takes for frying. Which is still a very easy dish that can be made into lunch & dinner.
