Get a 30-day free trial of Crunchyroll at:

Okonomiyaki, a dish whose name literally means "how you like", can contain any number of fillings. But as depicted in Sweetness & Lightning, it can contain a great deal more: childlike wonder, paternal bonding, and squid. Follow along this week as we recreate this essential Japanese comfort food, and maybe learn a thing or two about growing up in the process.

About the ginger, I think you used the pink ginger, Gari (ガリ), which goes with sushi with the sweeter taste. The one to go with okonomiyaki is called Beni-shouga (紅しょうが), means red ginger, with less sweet and very tangy.

[@CostasAn]

I had an okonomiyaki in Hiroshima and it was a bit different to this. It was a place with a large griddle. The customers sat around it. They first poured some of the mixture (only the liquid, no cabbage) on the surface. Then they added powder and cabbage, some ingredients you chose (like pork belly) and then poured more of the mixture on it. Then they flipped it a couple of times and voila! It was amazing. It was so crunchy they gave you a metallic spatula to cut it.

[@NinjaDiner]

(adjusts spectacles) Point of order: it looks like you're using gari, the sweet, soft pickled ginger that accompanies sushi. It's my understanding that okonomiyaki calls for beni shōga, the crisper, tarter, brighter red strips pickled in umeboshi solution.

It seems like a lot of Miyazaki's foods look really amazing, but they're just simple recipes animated gorgeously. I guess Spirited Away has the widest variety of material to work with.

make something from shukogeki no soma including the ridiculous reactions to the taste of the dish ^^

[@Vokoca]

He did already, check his videos.

[@tugroti66]

Hahahahaha, the reactions are the best part. He should just go in chronological order of all the dishes in that show and do the intentionally disgusting dishes as well.

I know there isn’t a show for this but Babish you should genuinely try making Hiroshima style okonomiyaki it is the same concept, built in layers which creates more variety in texture and flavor

[@darienbowers8157]

Once you discover the way of Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, you never go back. It's just impossible to beat.

[@Amanda-wn2hg]

YES ! I was so disappointed when I seen the video... Hiroshima style is so much better

Could you possibly make something from the Good Place? (ie Chidis grandmas maafe, tahanis maple butter scones, jalapeño poppers or an Arizona churro dog?)

That Yam part shook my whole existence

[@dfpytwa]

There was a street vendor in Okinawa who sold some similar ones to that near the base I was stationed at in the Marines. Tasty but we referred to them as ass blasters. Anyone wanting to win a fart war in the barracks for volume, duration and fragrance would have to go out and scarf one of those down. There was another small roll up door shop right outside the main gate that sold fried rice dishes and yakisoba. I loved the shrimp yakisoba there but have never found an equivalent in the states or even anywhere in mainland Japan the few times I've been there for business as a civilian.

[@watersage7395]

I remember the taco rice out of king taco outside of Foster. That stuff would cause the apocalypse in your room XD

I make my batter with egg, flour, baking powder, nori (I chop I up into flakes), salt, corn starch, fish sauce and oyster sauce. And I mix in my cabbage, leeks, shrimp(chopped into smaller pieces) and crab sticks (surimi) that I cut into long strips. Then I fry on medium heat until its golden on either side (takes forever but it doesn't get soggy on the inside). I don't use mayo or the sauce.

Babish can you make the some of the foods from Stardew Valley? you've done video games on your channel before and its a genuinely great game with lots of interesting dishes so i would love to see an episode for it

Sweetness and lighting is such a good anime, it deserves more love!

[@TheGamingSpartanA113]

Oh my god, I love Sweetness and Lightning and also Binging with Babish. Wholesome show + delicious food. Priceless. Also if anyone wants to know the recommendation on the anime, 9/10. It's a show about a daughter and her father bond after the mother's passing through food.

[@Sam_T2000]

The Gaming Spartan - and they also fight with giant robots, or what?

[@WalkingDeadKiller]

Yes oh my god Sweetness and Lightning is so wholesome. A delightful slice-of-life that makes my mouth water every episode.

I also highly recommend this. I'm not usually one for these sorts of anime but this one was just really cute and the food looks so good.
