In Kansai, the sauces for okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and takoyaki are different. They are all tasty, but I always end up with leftover sauce.Add the sauce after turning off the heat. If you add it while the heat is still on, it will spatter and form dark lumps. Recipe by Marrietty

Since I love white hanpen fishcakes, I thought hanpen-wrapped pork rolls would be tasty.As I suspected, the combination of the crispy pork and the fluffy hanpen was delicious.It helps to use a tea strainer when sprinkling the flour.When roasting, try not to agitate the pork rolls with chopsticks, otherwise they may unravel. It's best to slowly roast each side.Even when cool, these are delicous and cute little rolls that go perfectly in a bento lunch box. For 9 rolls. Recipe by Yusase mama

I used the hanpen and mentaiko that had been sitting in my fridge, and it turned out delicious.Adding in the hanpen fish cake after mixing the mayonnaise and mentaiko will help to coat the fish cake more evenly.Hanpen fish cake falls apart easily, so mix gently.These will cook up differently depending on the toaster oven heat setting used, so keep an eye on it when cooking!I used lots of mentaiko, but it tastes delicious with about this much added.

One of the staple items for a bento is tamagoyaki. I try out different variations so that my family doesn't get tired of them.Cut the hanpen small, otherwise it'll be hard to roll up. You can use either vegetable oil or sesame oil for a nutty flavor. Recipe by Asamato

It's always a challenge to come up with something for my bento...You'll probably have a bit of komatsuna left over... For an easy-to-make amount. Recipe by Ponpoa-ru

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.

I wanted to eliminate the step of adding seasonings when making tamagoyaki for bento in the morning, and also try them without Japanese noodle dipping sauce.Just 1 teaspoon of ponzu give enough flavor. Adjust the amount to taste.I also recommend adding scallions to the egg mixture. For 1 serving. Recipe by Mikanshufu

I was staring at hanpen and boiled eggs and.... lol.If this is a bit much to add into a bento ... Make with leftover hanpen and egg salad . You can serve this for dinner, and pack the leftovers into a bento the next day! For 8 sandwiches like those shown in the photo. Recipe by yukanosuke

Tamagoyaki with some pink, my daughter's favorite color.Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Recipe by Yumepokko

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

I like tuna tamagoyaki. ♪ I added scallions for a bit of colour. ♡ Strongly seasoned with noodle sauce. ♪* Adjust the amount of noodle sauce to your liking. ♪ (I use one medium egg and one large egg)*As it says in Step 3, use a knife that cuts well. ♡ Recipe by Nyankochansan
