A delicious okonomiyaki made with onions, without using eggs or cabbage. Cook it thick in a small frying pan for a hearty meal.
Recipe Background
Cabbage is still a luxury item, so I thought of using Chinese cabbage instead, but was surprised to find it even more expensive. So, I made okonomiyaki with onions, which are always on hand and affordable, and the leftover green parts of scallions.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Thinly slice the onion, cut the green parts of the scallion into rings (although the photo shows diagonal cuts, rings are easier to eat), and slice the chikuwa into rings.

In a bowl, add the ingredients marked with A and mix with chopsticks.
- 3
Once roughly mixed, add the ingredients from step 1 and the tempura bits, and mix again.
- 4
Ensure the batter is evenly distributed.
- 5
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add the batter from step 4, and spread it out. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
- 6
Once browned, flip it over, reduce to low heat, and cook for another 7 minutes. If the underside is browned and no raw batter comes out when poked with chopsticks, remove from heat.
- 7
Spread okonomiyaki sauce on top, and add mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and aonori as desired.

Fluffy Okonomiyaki with just Cabbage and Eggs! Fluffy Okonomiyaki with just Cabbage and Eggs!
I didn't have many ingredients or time so I tried making okonomiyaki with just eggs! And it was tastier than I expected.The trick to fluffy eggs is the ratio of eggs to cabbage. If you feel like asking yourself "is this too much cabbage!?" that is the right ratio. Do not worry because the cabbage will shrink. If there's too much egg it won't be okonomiyaki, either, so be careful! The sauce and the mayonnaise are the finishing touches. Recipe by Kuromam cookpad.japan -
Onion Okonomiyaki Onion Okonomiyaki
An okonomiyaki fan taught me this recipe. If you use onions, Awaji Island or Hokkaido onions are great. Crispy and sweetly spicy okonomiyaki sauce is also a good match. Great while drinking a beer or Highball.- The amount of water differs from the instructions on the okonomiyaki flour package, but the onions will release water, so there's enough!- You can add a second egg to the batter if you wish.

Fluffy Kansai-style Okonomiyaki with Cabbage and Nagaimo Yam Fluffy Kansai-style Okonomiyaki with Cabbage and Nagaimo Yam
I don't know how many times I've altered recipes to make the best okonomiyaki for my husband who's a huge fan... I've changed around the amount of batter, how to cut the cabbage and what to use for seasonings...I finally settled down on this recipe, because my husband told me that this was delicious.-To keep the moisture of the cabbage from mixing with the batter, roughly julienne the cabbage into thin but short matchstick-like pieces.-Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on thinly sliced pork belly. Wipe away excess oil that seeps out from the meat with paper towels.-Cook slowly so that you can enjoy the natural sweetness of the cabbage.-Yamaimo yams make the batter too sticky, so use nagaimo yam, which contains more moisture.

Okonomiyaki-style Chinese Cabbage Omelette Okonomiyaki-style Chinese Cabbage Omelette
I wanted to use up a bit of the huge shipment of Chinese cabbage that I was gifted.At first I was using it in stew, then I made mapo-style Chinese cabbage, and then I decided on something similar to okonomiyaki!It's better to use fresh cabbage in the omelette, rather than stir-frying it beforehand. This will give you a crunchier texture.Originally I thought that it would be better to stir-fry the cabbage first to prevent any excess moisture, but actually it had the opposite effect and I ended up with a messy omelette.

With Chinese Cabbage?! Jumbo Okonomiyaki With Chinese Cabbage?! Jumbo Okonomiyaki
I had an awkward amount of Chinese cabbage left over in my refrigerator since it's wintertime... I made this because I was curious what it would taste like. My kids were none the wiser .I always make jumbo okonomiyaki. When flipping it over, I wear oven mitts, unplug the electric griddle, cover the griddle with a lid, and flip the entire thing over. I then set the flipped okonomiyaki to the side for a minute, plug the griddleback in, and slide the okonomiyaki back to the griddle. For 2 people. Recipe by Mamimeron cookpad.japan -
Okonomiyaki with Lots of Cabbage Okonomiyaki with Lots of Cabbage
In Kansai, the cabbage is the star of an okonomiyaki pancake, and the batter just holds it together. The batter is not the star. It's kind of like a cabbage pancake, with a crispy surface and a light and fluffy inside. I think a simple okonomiyaki with just squid and pork tastes the best.1. Use as little batter as possible, just enough to hold the cabbage together.2. Cover the pan with a lid to cook through. For about 6 pancakes. Recipe by kei57 cookpad.japan -
