How to make easy okonomiyaki~ :)

Hi Hi again~

I always cook things that I think you would love too since its simple and delicious but I forget to take picture of the process but this time around I remembered... just barely cause the picture are crappy taken with iPhone so next food tutorial I will make sure to take nice pics<3



ok I lot of you asked what is Okonomiyaki?

お好み焼きokonomi = your choice or your favorite yaki = grill or cook
translates to your favorite cooked dish! so with okonomiyaki you can add whatever you like into this pancake so in Japan Okonomiyaki was originated from kansai southern Japan like Osaka and Hiroshima area so the okonomiyaki I made here are really simplified version of okonomiyaki :) My most favorite dishes are this and takoyaki which is another famous kansai food! ^0^

Here is eki version okonomiyaki recipe

ok what you need:
(this makes about 6 pancake size okonomiyaki)

2 cup of okonomiyaki mix*optional* or 2 cup of flour with 3 teaspoon of hondashi (fish broth)
1 1/4 cup of water
1 egg
half cabbage chopped up
5-6 stems of Nira chives or known as garlic chives *if you cant find this you can use scallion but Nira tastes better*
your choice of meats *I like shirmp, pork, bacon in my okonomiyaki so good~* :D~

Toppings:

kewpie mayonnaise *must have taste so good with this*
Okonomiyaki sauce *I like otafuku brand* or Tonkatsu sauce
okaka *bonito dried fish flakes* (optional but seafood lover would love the extra fishy flavor lol) 


Remember:
 its called okonomiyaki since you can add whatever you like in this! Adding noodles are always good too :D but the basic must have formula to okonomiyaki are always cabbages & the flour mix and the topping are what makes a okonomiyaki a Okonomiyaki ^__^

ok so first you need to get your flour ready I like to get premixed okonomiyaki mix cause its already flavored and it will taste so much more authentic but if you cant get your hands on some okonomiyaki mix you can mix flour with hondashi together and it will taste as good :)

okonomiyaki mix I bought from asianfoodgrocer.com

 chopped up cabbage I like mine fine but if you like more crunchy chop them in bigger chunks
Nira chopped up in 1" inch lengths

mix your 2 cups of flour mix, 1 1/4 cup of water and 1 egg

then add your ingredients 

mix all the ingredients together your mixture should be semi runny
if you have hot grill it will be great but if not grill them in your frying pan, make a pancake size or desired size
make sure you pat down the okonomiyaki so it cooks evenly and this will form your okonimiyaki into nice a pancake form. Cook the okonomiyaki till both sides are nicely golden and grilled :) 

 Now top your Okonomiyaki with kewpi mayo, okonomiyaki sauce and fish flakes!

FIN~♥

so easy right? Hope you like it ^__^

 Perfect side dish~ Edamame :)




well that was it okonomiyaki are really fun & easy to make, hope you find it yummy too♥
If you have additional questions dont be shy ^__^

Take care!!

XOXO
