Japanese Pancake Okonomiyaki
0Okonomiyaki is a savory Japanese pancake that's both delicious and customizable. The name "okonomiyaki" translates to "grilled as you like it," reflecting its nature as a versatile dish where ingredients can be adjusted based on personal preferences.
The batter typically includes ingredients like flour, grated yam, eggs, shredded cabbage, and dashi (Japanese stock). This mixture forms the base, to which various ingredients like sliced pork, seafood, vegetables (such as green onions, carrots, or mushrooms), and sometimes cheese or mochi are added.
Once the batter and ingredients are mixed, the mixture is poured onto a hot grill or skillet in a round shape to cook. The pancake is flipped to ensure both sides are cooked evenly. Traditionally, okonomiyaki is topped with a special sauce called okonomiyaki sauce (similar to a sweet and savory barbecue sauce), mayonnaise, bonito flakes (dried fish flakes), and aonori (dried seaweed flakes).
There are different regional styles of okonomiyaki, such as the Hiroshima style, which layers ingredients rather than mixing them into the batter. Some restaurants even offer DIY tables where you can cook your own okonomiyaki, making it a fun and interactive dining experience. Overall, it's a flavorful and satisfying dish that showcases the diversity of Japanese cuisine.
