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.

I learned this from my wife. Adding lots of nagaimo yams is the trick! You can also add sakura shrimp, konnyaku, and chikuwa.The amount of nagaimo yams used is the deciding factor. You could add more if you wish. Add as much cabbage and green onions as you like. The batter doesn't use much flour, so you don't have to worry about it cooking all the way through! You just have to brown it. For 3 okonomiyaki pancakes. Recipe by Momokapapa

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.

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.

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 was too lazy to make something elaborate, so I made okonomiyaki instead. We ran out of katsuobushi, so I did not use that.

My husband, who's really picky about what he eats, said it's even better than what we get at restaurants!This okonomiyaki is so fluffy and crispy!Add lots of veggies to make it healthier.The butter and mayonnaise are the key points of this recipe. They are a must. For 2 servings. Recipe by Aiai25

I often go to okonomiyaki restaurants, but one day I wanted to eat okonomiyaki at home.These will taste more delicious with lots of yamaimo yam. When you are frying, don't press down on the okonomiyaki. There's a lot of cabbage, but if you shape the mixture carefully during Step 5, it will stick together. Recipe by Mikabon888

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

After experimenting, I recreated the okonomiyaki we can enjoy at an okonomiyaki restaurant at home.At Step 3, you just need to mix it so it comes togheter. The batter will be nice and light and airy. At Step 4, after pouring the batter in the pan, you can sprinkle more tempura crumbs on top for flavor. But if you're watching your calorie intake, you may want to hold back on them. For 3 servings.

I bought a new frying pan, and I decided to make okonomiyaki to test if it was really non-stick.You can use pork belly, pork offcuts or whatever cut of pork you like.The batter should be thick, rather than watery, so that it falls thickly from a spoon. Recipe by Kashokushou

I bought a 50 yen pack of tenkasu, so I made okonomiyaki.We mix the pickled ginger into the batter, rather than putting it on top of the pancake. For 28 cm [11.0 in] frying pan worth. Recipe by Aokoro
