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. Recipe by hatabo

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- -
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* -
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 -
Recipe by the President of the Japanese Okonomiyaki Association!!Kansai-style Okonomiyaki Recipe by the President of the Japanese Okonomiyaki Association!!Kansai-style Okonomiyaki
This is the recipe passed down from the President of the Japan Okonomiyaki Association. It's authentic, easy to make, and you can enjoy it at home. I took the official certification test for okonomiyaki for fun and passed their tests.Mix the batter quickly to incorporate air for fluffy okonomiyaki. The key is to avoid the temptation to press down or even touch the okonomiyai while it is cooking. By making the okonomiyaki 1-2 cm thick, the top will be crispy and steam will emit from the sides, leaving the inside nice and fluffy. Recipe by suc -
Fluffy and Creamy Okonomiyaki Fluffy and Creamy Okonomiyaki
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 -

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.

Our Family's Recipe For Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki with Tofu Our Family's Recipe For Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki with Tofu
I wondered if I could make okonomiyaki that was as fluffy and soft as our family recipe for crab omelette (kanikama).Silken tofu will make the okonomiyaki lighter and fluffier. You can mix in the beni-shouga or sprinkle it on top. If you're feeding small children, just add the red pickled ginger to your okonomiyaki (or the adult's). To make the okonomiyaki richer and more authentic, mix in an egg to each portion. For 10 pancakes. Recipe by Kichiihowaito
