Fluffy Kansai-Style Okonomiyaki with Cabbage and Nagaimo
きちりーもんじゃ @cook_40069603
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.

- 1
In a large bowl, combine the ingredients marked with ○ and mix with chopsticks until the mixture is sticky and airy. Let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes while you chop the vegetables.
- 2
Cut the cabbage into coarse strips (about 2 inches long and 1/8 inch wide). Cut the pork belly in half.
- 3
Add the cabbage, eggs, tempura bits, dried shrimp, and pickled ginger to the bowl from step 1. Mix gently with a large spoon, incorporating air from the bottom.
- 4
Lightly oil the pan over medium-low heat, drop the batter in thick portions without spreading it out. Shape it into a circle with a spatula and place the pork belly on top. Cook slowly. 
- 5
After flipping, do not press down. Cook slowly over medium-low heat, gradually increasing the heat until the pork is crispy. Flip again and cook over medium heat until crisp.
- 6
When using a frying pan, cook two at the same time (do not cover). The recommended method is to use a griddle at 450°F and cook in three portions.
- 7
Finish by drizzling okonomiyaki sauce, aonori, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes on top.
- 8
If you use leaner pork like pork scraps instead of pork belly, you can mix it into the batter and it will still be delicious.
- 9
The dish is tasty even without dried shrimp, but tempura bits and pickled ginger are essential. Chopped green onions also go well.

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.

Fluffy and Soft~ Nagaimo Yam and Cabbage Okonomiyaki Fluffy and Soft~ Nagaimo Yam and Cabbage Okonomiyaki
I had half of a nagaimo yam and cabbage that had been sitting in my fridge for a long time. Basically, I could use just these ingredients for a late-night snack; it is simple and light, and is really filling! This is the perfect recipe. More than anything, I can't get enough of the fluffiness.A sign that it has finished cooking is that it will plump up all over. It is soft and fluffy when it is done cooking . It will still be soft, so please take care when transferring to a plate. The tempura flour has eggs mixed into it, so this is great for holding everything together. Simple is best instead of preparing everything! For about 15 cm [5.9 in]-diamater okonomiyaki pancake. Recipe by Shinyori-na -
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 -

This will make it fluffy! Recipe by chi-bo-3 -
Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki
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 -
Light, Fluffy, and Soft Kansai-Style Okonomiyaki Light, Fluffy, and Soft Kansai-Style Okonomiyaki
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- -

Okonomiyaki with Lots of Spring Cabbage Okonomiyaki with Lots of Spring Cabbage
This is a regular dish in my house.Step 3: You can cook half the batter at a time (In that case, use 3 eggs).Step 4: If it's too difficult to flip over, cook the egg in a different pan and put that on top of the okonomiyaki.Step 5: Make about 5 shallow cuts on the surface of the okonomiyaki with a spatula to let out the steam.You can also use 1/2 teaspoon Japanese soup stock + water instead if you'd prefer.

A Kansai Native's Light and Fluffy Okonomiyaki A Kansai Native's Light and Fluffy Okonomiyaki
This is a recipe that was improved using the know-how I picked up when I worked at an okonomiyaki restaurant . I'm quite particular about okonomiyaki . This amount always yields fluffy okonomiyaki pancakes . It doesn't taste like tofu at all!Using the tofu and grated yam for the base is important! While using an egg beater to whip air into the dough, thoroughly mix it all together smoothly . You can also mix the okonomiyaki flour with plain flour and bonito flakes . It is messy though, so my family just uses okonomiyaki flour lol. It's a normal pork okonomiyaki . Recipe by *peace* -
Easy and Delicious! Kansai-style Fluffy Okonomiyaki Easy and Delicious! Kansai-style Fluffy Okonomiyaki
My husband, who's from Osaka, would always make these okonomiyaki without measuring the ingredients; but since I also wanted to make them, I put this recipe together.What makes this recipe unique is the juicy pork, which is lightly sautéed before adding to the batter. Even without tempura crumbs, the okonomiyaki turn out fluffy!People often say you need to press down on the pancakes while they're grilling, but with this recipe, you'll get a fluffy result either way.

Cabbage-Free Okonomiyaki with Onion and Chikuwa (No Eggs) Cabbage-Free Okonomiyaki with Onion and Chikuwa (No Eggs)
A delicious okonomiyaki made with onions, without using eggs or cabbage. Cook it thick in a small frying pan for a hearty meal.Recipe BackgroundCabbage 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.
