Low-Sugar Hiroshima Okonomiyaki with Okara & Bean Sprouts
I wanted to make Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki using okara and cooking in a frying pan, but it didn't turn out well, as I wasn't used to making it. (I burnt the okonomiyaki while adding the ingredients on top, and had trouble flipping it.) So, I made the recipe easier by using a microwave.
If you have trouble flipping the okonomiyaki in Step 10 and it crumbles a bit, you can adjust the shape by using a spatula to help the egg attach to the okonomiyaki.
I recommend using meltable cheese, as it gives a nice flavor. I used 1 piece of cheese, but you could use 2 pieces if you like.
I wanted to make a low-sugar recipe, so I didn't use cabbage or yakisoba noodles, but you can add them if you like. Recipe by Mrs. ookara

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Use fresh okara as-is. If using dried okara, reconstitute it in water. I used the type of dried okara that has to be reconstituted in 5 times its amount of water. So I added 50 g of water to 10 g of dried okara.
- 2
(Start from this step if you're using fresh okara.) Add one of the eggs and the salt to the okara, and mix.
- 3
Line a large heatproof dish with a parchment sheet. Thinly spread about 3/4 of the dough from Step 2 in the dish.
- 4
Spread half of the bonito flakes, then half of the bean sprouts over the dough. Spread the rest of the bonito flakes and all of the cheese on top.
- 5
In the same way, top with the rest of the bean sprouts, then the sliced pork. Finally, spread the remaining dough all over the pork.
- 6
Microwave uncovered at 600 W for 4 minutes. Rotate the container 90 degrees, and microwave again for 4 minutes.
- 7
If it isn't cooked enough, cover with plastic wrap (so it will steam) and microwave a little at a time. I microwaved it for an additional 2 minutes when I made it with soy bean sprouts.
- 8
Add olive oil (not listed in the ingredients) to a heated frying pan, and crack the other egg into the pan. Break the yolk a little.
- 9
Slide a spatula under the parchment sheet from Step 6.
- 10
Flip it over quickly without hesitation onto the egg from Step 8, and attach the okonomiyaki to the egg. Turn off the heat when the egg is cooked as you like.
- 11
Remove the parchment sheet from the okonomiyaki, slide the spatula under the egg to release it from the frying pan. Invert a plate over the frying pan and flip the whole thing over to transfer the okonomiyaki to the plate.
- 12
For toppings, add bonito flakes, aonori, okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, etc.
- 13
I recommend using 50 percent reduced-calorie okonomiyaki sauce to keep the okonomiyaki low in sugar.
- 14
Okonomiyaki with soy bean sprouts is even more filling.

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.

Low-carb Okonomiyaki-Style Koya Tofu Low-carb Okonomiyaki-Style Koya Tofu
My family loves okonomiyaki and I make it at least once a week. For this version, I used koya tofum which is low in carbohydrates, has a long shelf life, and is inexpensive.It has the characteristic chewy texture of koya tofu with the flavor of tofu. It differs from regular okonomiyaki, but you can enjoy the feeling of having okonomiyaki with this.Step 3: This batter doesn't have a lot of moisture even when it's smooth, but some moisture will come out of the bean sprouts, so if the batter doesn't come together at this point don't worry.Step 7: If you brown the pancake well it will be easier to flip, but it falls apart easier than one made with flour.If you are using an induction stovetop, please adjust the cooking time.
