Okonomiyaki Recipe : How to Make Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き)

Hi guys!

Today I’m going to share my Okonomiyaki recipe! 😀 YAY~!

Okonomiyaki is one of my favorite savory pancake, hands down! ‘Okonomi’ means ‘what you like/want’ and ‘Yaki’ means ‘grill/broil’. So it pretty much means Grilled what you like/grilled as you like it.

There are few different styles of Okonomiyaki depending on region. Okonomiyaki’s origin is Osaka and Hiroshima and today I’m sharing  Osaka style which is more simpler and easier to make!

The batter and cabbage is the basic ingredients for Oknomiyaki and rest of other ingredients are totally up to you! As the name Okonomiyaki says, As You Like it! 😉

I understand there are some ingredients that hard to find at regular grocery stores, but you always can buy Asian ingredients from local Asian markets or Internet!
