I had been asking myself this question: is Japan's Okonomiyaki a pizza? I mean, does a pan-fried batter counted as a dough? It definitely has sauce and toppings. But can Kewpie mayo qualifies as a cheese? Pizza is dough, sauce and cheese right? So technically, this is a pizza, right? Lol! I watched too much "Is it really dough" on YouTube.I love this "Japanese pizza". I hardly find any great okonomiyaki in Singapore tho, sadly. There are actually 2 types of okonomiyaki; the Osaka's and the Hiroshima's version. The one which I am making today is the Osaka's version. Hiroshima's version is a lot "heavier" as it contains added noodles and lots of vegetables and other toppings. Perhaps I will try to make that version in the future. It is really difficult to decide which is my favorite; each version has it's own uniqueness.This is rather a simple and easy dish to make, tho, flipping the okonomiyaki really do takes some practice, especially when I am making 8 inch big okonomiyaki. But it all comes together in the end. Cos after all, mesmerizing over how the bonito flakes dance is the price. Don't you agree? Anyway, I was so glad the other day when I spotted chicken bacon in my local supermarket. Chicken bacon does exist! I do not consume pork, so this is intriguing for me. You can however, use a high quality pork bacon. In closing, is this a pizza? I will leave it to you to decide and I really do hope you give this recipe a try.

Japanese style savoury pancake

I lived in Japan for a year and a half and often went out to restaurants to eat okonomiyaki (often called Japanese pizza or Japanese cabbage pancake). I'm back in Canada and my grandma has been asking me to make this for her, so I found this recipe. It makes 1 large or 2 medium sized patties. Pictured above is a medium sized one, about 2-3 cm thick.

Got a lot of cabbage leftover? Let’s make a pancake!Basically a flat version of Takoyaki. Use your protein of choice 😊

Okonomiyaki is a casual Japanese food cooked on an iron griddle. 'Okonomi' means 'your choice' and 'yaki' means 'cook or grill'. As this word suggests, many kinds of styles of Okonomiyaki are available in Japan. The famous ones are Kansai style and Hiroshima style.

I wanted to use up the leftovers from New Years, so I made this.When you want to add sliced pork, put it on top in step 4. To keep things easy to remember, you can make this with 100 g flour, 100ml water, 1 egg, 150 g cabbage, and 2 of your favorite ingredients. The cooking time depends on the temperature of the heat, but just eyeball it when you cook them. Recipe by woailiaoli

I served this [Cake-style Okonomiyaki] at birthday party for a friend who doesn't like sweet stuff!It was perfect for the party since it became our main dish.Using 500 g flour in a 28 cm cake pan was seriously, really filling for the 12 of us! If you're using 15cm or 18cm pans, I think you only need to double or x 2.5 the amount of ingredients from.The key is… to fold in lightly at Step 4! Just like when you're making a cake.

This is how it has turned out after making it for several years.You can use normal thinly sliced pork, or pork designated for okonomiyaki. Top with it with whatever you like, such as shrimp, squid, cheese, or mochi. For 4 servings. Recipe by Norinomanma
