I just made this for dinner last night after craving it for months! I had some argentinian shrimp to use up and did that in place of pork, and topped with a pitted umeboshi and some furikake (all I had). I def made the okonomiyaki sauce and wowww it really hit my craving perfectly. I needed my roommate's help flipping the pancake, and it wasn't the prettiest mess, but my god was it flavorful.

[@NoRecipes]

That sounds great! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your variation. I'm always experimenting with different mix-ins and toppings so it's fun to hear what other people come up with!

The lattice detail on the pork belly looks great! Also this is a good way to get pork in every bite!

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Kaye! it ensures even coverage and it also makes it stick to the top of the okonomiyaki better so it doesn't all fall off when you flip it over.

[@Rose-ml1hp]

THIS recipe of yours is immaculate, sir! I first had okonomiyaki at a friend’s house, her mom cooked it for us. I’ve tried a few others since (haven’t been to Japan, only tried at restaurants in California and Honolulu,) but they just weren’t getting that authentic Osaka style that my friend’s mom grew up eating/cooking. Yours reminds me greatly of hers, and I’m so excited to give this a try on my stone griddle!

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Rose, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing your taste memories. It's funny how those things stick with us. I have a lot of other authentic Japanese recipes adapted for Western kitchens, here so I hope you have a chance to try some of them out.

Okonomiyaki is such an incredible dish and you show the many variations possible. This presentation gives so many healthy and delicious ingredients. Japanese cooking is just fantastic and you presented it to be possible at home with your great video.

[@NoRecipes]

Thank you for the kind words Cindy! Some of the ingredients may be unfamiliar, but Japanese cuisine as a whole tends to be fairly simple and very easy to make at home provided you can get access to the ingredients. This one is great because it's so flexible, all you really need is cabbage, eggs, and flour to make a basic okonomiyaki. The rest is up to your tastes and what you happen to have on hand.

[@michaelad48]

In the Netherlands, I've found a great substitute for the tenkasu which are crispy 'soup balls' (krokant soepbolletjes). They're little crunchy fried balls of batter meant for sprinkling over finished soups.

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Nicholas! The trick is to go low and slow. If you're having trouble flipping it, there are a couple ways to do it, the easiest way is to flip a second frying pan over the first and flip them over together, but you have to be SUPER careful not to spill hot oil on yourself. If you try this make sure to sop up any excess oil first and use mitts and towels to cover your hands and forearms.

[@nickmorales8146]

@@NoRecipes Well Marc I don't have a problem flipping it not my problem the ones I made come out pretty good for what I'm saying is they don't look as pretty as yours but I still make them they still come up pretty good like I said my kids love them and I just use one spatula to flip the whole thing I don't have a problem flipping them and then again I have a big grill that I cook I cook mine on I don't use frying pan I find the frying pan to be a little restrictive so I have a grill it's pretty good size grill and it's a gas grill so it comes out pretty come out pretty good but I've never tried weaving the the bacon like you do that's what I'm saying is that yours are prettier than mine mine just has strips of bacon on autumn and that's it LOL brother you take care and I'll see you on the next one your friend in southern Nevada Nicholas

Just got asked by another student what Okonomiyaki is, so I showed this video in class! haha

[@NoRecipes]

Hahaha thanks man!

[@siegeism]

Perfect timing, just got back from Osaka and miss these so much. One thing I noticed is that okaasan always makes batter, rests, then adds eggs last when combining fillings, does it matter when the eggs go in? I'd love to see you do the Hiroshima Okonomiyaki, finally I love the pork weave, I'm taking that idea.

[@NoRecipes]

Resting the batter will help any gluten that's developed during mixing relax but you can avoid this if you use cold ingredients and don't mix aggressively. Adding the eggs after this is kinda counter productive because you need to mix it well to get the eggs incorporated and you're going to develop more gluten. By mixing the dashi and eggs alone, you don't have to worry about overmixing it, then you can mix the combined eggs and dashi with the flour until they're just barely combined.

[@siegeism]

@@NoRecipes Thanks sensei

will chinnese cabbage work or do i need classic cabbage and any substitudes for ketchup im allergic to tomatoes milk and potatoes so i need to know what to use

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Matej, I don't recommend using Chinese cabbage. It has a much higher percentage of water and will make the okonomiyaki watery. As for the ketchup, you could probably just leave it out. The sauce won't be quite as fruity, but it will have plenty of flavor from the other ingredients.

[@matejmatuska6700]

@@NoRecipes is sweet chilli good or really leave out and i dont know if our slovak cabbage is less watery that concearns me most

[@NoRecipes]

@@matejmatuska6700 Okonomiyaki means "griddled as you like it", so if you like sweet chili sauce, then I say go for it! As for the cabbage, I don't think I've ever had Slovak cabbage before, but is it like the kind of cabbage shown in the ingredients section of the video? This is the same cabbage used for German Sauerkraut.

[@matejmatuska6700]

@@NoRecipes can i use panko istead of tenkasu

[@NoRecipes]

@@matejmatuska6700 The purpose of the tenkasu is to add a fried batter flavor to the okonomiyaki while also adding a bit of fluffyness. You won't get the flavor with panko, but It would give you the fluffiness.

Can we use pancake mix?

[@NoRecipes]

It's an interesting idea, but pancake mix usually includes sugar and you wouldn't want that in here. It also always includes leavening to make the pancake rise, which is not supposed to happen with okonomiyaki.

Hahaha it has a bunch of means in Japanese but can be anything from grilled to griddled to pan-fried to stir-fried.

[@KalerTerang]

I thought there will be a grated yam inside the classic okonomiyaki batter 🤔

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Diyana, most recipes will call for yamaimo but I've gotten a lot of feedback in the past that it is difficult to find outside of Japan, so I've replaced it with an extra egg (which achieves a similar result). If you have yamaimo available to you, you can replace 1/4-1/2 cup of pureed yamaimo for the egg. I've written more details about all these ingredients in the full recipe on my website: norecipes.com/osaka-okonomiyaki-recipe/

[@KalerTerang]

Don't tell Hiroshima people, I prefer Osaka style okonomiyaki 🤣🤣 just because for me the noddle kinda too much. Also I like add slice cheese on my okonomiyaki 🤣🤣
