Chop all ingredients into small pieces (see note). In a bowl, add the [Basic] ingredients in order and mix well. Add any [Other Ingredients] you like and mix again.

Lightly oil a hot griddle or electric skillet and add only the solid ingredients from step 1. Spread them out in a ring shape, creating a well in the center.

Pour the remaining monjayaki batter into the center well in two parts. When it starts to bubble, mix everything together and cook while stirring.

When the color of the batter changes and it's about 80% cooked, spread it out flat. Sprinkle aonori evenly on top. Use a small spatula to scrape and eat from the edges.

Sayaosan made a variation with mochi and kimchi—highly recommended! Store-bought shredded dried squid (kiri-ika) is also a great addition!

Yosuke and Haruhiko made a classic version with Baby Star ramen snacks. Kanamaruco added pork!

Gen*mama made a curry cheese version. Babu-chan tried making it in a frying pan. Chiimo added rice and mochi. They all sound delicious!
