Because I had a big cabbage on hand!Mince the cabbage as finely as possible. It's easier if you use a food processor! Recipe by uzukaji

In Kansai, the cabbage is the star of an okonomiyaki pancake, and the batter just holds it together. The batter is not the star. It's kind of like a cabbage pancake, with a crispy surface and a light and fluffy inside. I think a simple okonomiyaki with just squid and pork tastes the best.1. Use as little batter as possible, just enough to hold the cabbage together.2. Cover the pan with a lid to cook through. For about 6 pancakes. Recipe by kei57

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.

I wanted to eat okonomiyaki! But, I didn't have any cabbage that day, so I made this okonomiyaki. It was delicious!! This recipe has become a family favorite.If you don't have okonomiyaki sauce, try serving it topped with ketchup and mayonnaise.Besides the pork, you can top the okonomiyaki with squid, mochi cakes, cheese, leeks, or other items of your choice.

Kids also love this dish.Cabbage contains plenty of vitamins and fibre, so we all want to eat lots of it!1/4 of a cabbage is a lot, but when you cook it in okonomiyaki, even kids will eat it right up ! This is a perfect inexpensive lunch before pay day! For 3 okonomiyaki. Recipe by yryryryryr

I occasionally get the urge to have okonomiyaki! I only had cabbage, so I just went ahead and made one.When you turn the pancake over, instead of using a plate (which I used to do too) use the lid of the frying pan. It's a lot easier this way. For 1 large pancake. Recipe by Eriririn

I used to think okonomiyaki was all about using tons of flour. That's why it turned out really floury whenever I prepared it, making the insides too sticky and runny, which was really disappointing.One day, I thought about reducing the amount of flour, and it's been smooth sailing ever since!When drawing a pattern with mayonnaise, set your okonomiyaki aside for a while after spreading on the sauce. This prevents any running off!Just toss in any ingredients you'd like.Take care to use only a minimum amount of flour. That's all!The flour, water, and egg is only to hold everything together.

I made okonomiyaki so that I could eat lots of cabbage.Cook it covered with a lid. Grate the potatoes after removing the eyes. You can use yams or Chinese yams in place of the potatoes. For 3-4 okonomiyaki pancakes. Recipe by Iku..

I created this recipe because I wanted to eat something delicious and low calories.. Recipe by Rizechan

I got a lot of cabbage, so I made this to use it up.I heard there's "Cabbage-yaki (Cabbage okonomiyaki)" in the Kansai region.I was going to name it differently but I just cooked the cabbage so...Remember that this is different from the authentic Cabbage-yaki.Add some tempura crumbs or bonito flakes if you like. Make it in your own way (lol). Recipe by SuYoungKim

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.

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
