[@snuffles7492]

For those who are wondering: i saw in their website that you can replace the nagaimo with a potato or any starchy vegetable, but i also saw a video where the guy used cornstarch instead to achieve the fluffy texture of the batter, hope this helps 😊💕 happy cooking!

[@luatle3060]

I was gonna go look for alternative options for nagaimo. Thanks so much for the recommendations! :D

[@bl--k2184]

F bro are you a god bro you demon ohh I forget to thanks same as 1 guy

[@BakedBuddy]

I heard the potato sucks as a replacement because it comes out too starchy in the mix

[@lupinvash3]

Would potato starch work as well?

My exact thought too

Hi Ethan! I'm extremely happy to hear that. It's not something we can buy, so I'm glad you made it work and your family enjoyed this dish! Thank you for your kind feedback. xoxo

You can easily substitute nagaimo with potato

My mother made this for me growing up , I miss it so much . She would put minced shrimp inside , so good. I’m going to try and make this , thank you !!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@1313nette]

I tried this recipe for the 1st time and my family loves it! My son lived in Tokyo for a while so he's very familiar with Japanese food and he gave me the thumbs up and asked for extra serving!. Thanks so much Noami!

[@Kubiubo]

Reminds me of home! I'm moving near my home soon, so I cant wait to have my mom's cooking again. I miss home-cooked Japanese food so much.

[@bonniedasferens982]

The Bonita flakes really do move from the steam. That's so interesting!

[@scubaman6]

When my daughter and me lived in Japan this was one of our favorite fast foods from a store nearby. I still remember the delicious flavors and wish I could find it here. We live in Takarazuka between Nishinomiya and Osaka. I miss it very much.

[@RilaShinKi]

I really appreciate how you included how to make okonomiyaki sauce by scratch too!

[@kilroyrichard]

I just followed this recipe today and it was absolutely great! Only one thing worth mentioning as maybe others wouldn’t realise either but i didn’t realise how thinly the cabbage should really be chopped. It was still quite crunchy and firm, so next time I’m going to make sure i can find a soft variety and shread very fine

[@nazsamandarova2968]

Who else watched till the end knowing they didn’t have half the ingredients?!

[@lindaboeckman8806]

I just made these from a less intensive recipe. They were still delish!!! I'd love to try this one tho!

[@rubythalue3758]

Me denmark dont have 😩

[@commanderatlas1695]

Got halfway through and was like "oh yeah not making this" but still watched the whole video lol.

[@tknoodle]

Actually, made this some time ago after visiting Japan, just refreshing my memory :D But the defining ingredients are flour, eggs, baking powder and greens, and the okonomi sauce - which can be simplified to Worcestershire sauce (available worldwide), sugar, soy, and honey. Anything other than that forms the "as you like it" part of okonomiyaki. Which means I can do whatever I want and it's legit 😅 One thing to note is that Japanese style loves this to have very sweet sauces - the okonomi sauce is sweet, and the Japanese mayo is sweeter than Western-style mayo. Apart from that - dig in!!

[@LoreleiMission]

A friend online told me the name of the dish translates kinda like "fry anything!" so they said you can use most types of veggies or combo thereof instead of the veggies seen here. I've checked around the 'net and noticed it's true; other recipes use carrot, cabbage, zucchini etc. We made it a week ago with some other veg combo and it was fabulous

[@duanehorkey3147]

I have made this okonomiyaki several times now, and it is amazing!! It tasted just like what we had in Japan. Will definitely make this again! Thank you so much for the recipe and video!!

[@mollyher6097]

Thank you for your recipe! Made it for dinner and my husband loved it!

[@abbysmommy1205]

Thank you for this recipe! It reminds me of the japanese immersion school's spring festival in my home town when i was young. The first time i tried this was at the spring festival (i was curious because a savory pancake sounded weird). I made this recently and it is just as delicious as i remember!

[@justonecookbook]

So glad you remember this dish from the festival! :)

[@Shokupan982]

I can't wait to try your recipe. I love okonomiyaki! My family's from Yamaguchi-ken, so I grew up with Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with noodles. Despite all the variations in the dish, it's always delicious.

[@heartsbygabby3119]

This is an excellent recipe! Thank you for it 😄 my family all loved it so much. I added in bacon bits to the batter (on top of pork belly slices on one side of the okonomiyaki), and a layer of shredder cheddar + mozzarella cheese under the pork belly slices. Oishi! 😋👍🏻🥇

Hi Nami-san. I tried your okonomiyaki recipe tonight and, not surprisingly, it was the best recipe I've tried :-) No need to look further!

My favourite dish of Japan Especially sitting and watching them do it in front of you. We had it when we went on day trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima We stopped at Miyajima Shrine and went to a fantastic restaurant just like the one in this article 👏👏

[@indyhotdog7652]

I just came back from Osaka where I ate this for the very first time. It was simply amazing. It seemed like the pancake was cooked with just the batter (after the fridge in the video), so it was thinner. Then the fillings were piled on top of one of the pancakes and another pancake placed on top of that. Either way, the flavor was simply amazing. Thanks for the video!

[@skelanimaldiego]

I'm so happy you did this recipe! I'm really interested in learning about Japanese cuisine and Okonomiyaki is something I've read a lot about and been very curious about. I've tried to make it with... some American modifications since I couldn't find the Nagaimo, following a different recipe, but I'm thinking I'll try to prepare it this way and see what sort of results I get. Previously I stacked things on top of each other, because that's what the recipe said to do, but I think it would work out better if I mixed everything together like you did here. :) I hope you're having fun on your trip!

As long as you have cabbage and oyster sauce you can add whatever you like or have and it will taste like okonomiyaki, i've put on shrimp, beef, sausages, pork, mushrooms, grated carrot or zucchini, red pepper, whatever is in my fridge, and i prepare it without flour, the cabbage just mixed with egg, it's so easy to prepare and always delicious
