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.

The only moisture comes from the nagaimo. It's rich and fluffy. You can enjoy plenty of cabbage. Make authentic okonomiyaki at home! The origin of this recipe: I made this recipe over and over, changing the amount of binder, the way of cutting cabbage, and the seasonings to impress my husband, who loves okonomiyaki. This recipe, which he finally said was delicious, is a keeper. On December 2, 2012, I changed the flour from 70g to 80g.

I think our family recipe for okonomiyaki is better than restaurant quality.We use "Otafuku" brand okonomiyaki sauce. I use less okonomiyaki flour than is indicated on the package since I add tofu and yamaimo yam to the batter. Use as little batter as possible for light and fluffy okonomiyaki pancakes.I know it's a bother, but chop the cabbage up finely! Recipe by amamitu

There's no need to use Japanese yam - just use tofu to make a fluffy and soft okonomiyaki.It's absolutely delicious and not at all powdery!Thanks to tofu it's fluffy, soft, light, and even healthy.Also add carrots, green pepper, and onions for a sweeter variation. For 2 servings. Recipe by Mina1212

Even without thinly sliced meat, yam, or tempura bits, you can easily make delicious, fluffy, and crispy okonomiyaki abroad. The origin of this recipe: A long time ago, someone from Osaka made this cabbage-only okonomiyaki using only ingredients available overseas. It was the best okonomiyaki I've ever had, and I aimed to recreate that taste and fluffy texture.

We have tried a lot of restaurants from Osaka to Kyoto to Tokyo. We love soft okonomiyaki and this is our ideal texture. While my husband was cooking, I measured all the ingredients and took photos. This recipe is a result of our team work!!The squid gives a good flavour, so do not omit it. (If you don't have squid, add soy sauce instead and the flavour will be sharpened. If you use dashi powder, use the same amount as for making 10 servings of miso soup and dissolve in hot water. Adjust the heat and cooking time according to your stove, pan, and size of your okonomiyaki. Just after cooking, the inside is very soft, but it'll set once it cools down. Recipe by Mani-

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

A package of ready to use okonomiyaki powder listed yamaimo as an ingredient, so I tried making a batter with grated yam and it was delicious. In addition, I saw a TV program once that a grandmother from the Kansai region who was really good at making okonomiyaki, so I copied her methods.Make sure to cook through the okonomiyaki completely or it'll be sticky and floury inside rather than fluffy and creamy. And another thing, do not press down while cooking with a spatula. Recipe by Lesser Panda

This okonomiyaki is on the menu of a restaurant in Umeda City, Osaka. I found it while walking around Umeda and tried to recreate it.Make sure to incorporate air into the batter while mixing. Mix the batter for each okonomiyaki right before making each one. Do not push down and flatten the okonomiyaki. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

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

Basic Osaka-style okonomiyaki made just by mixing and frying.I have eaten this since I was little. It's delicious with the taste of Japanese dashi stock.Make sure to cook over medium heat so that you can cook through the inside of the okonomiyaki too.Pierce it with a bamboo skewer or a chopstick, and you can tell that it is cooked through if the white-ish batter doesn't stick to it.
