In the Kansai region we use different sauces for everything - okonomiyaki, yakisoba, takoyaki. They're delicious and worth having around -- it's just a bit challenging to get through all of them.Add the sauce to the pan after turning off the heat. If you put it in when the pan is hot it may spit or get burned and char unpleasantly. Recipe by Marrietty

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

Large heads of Chinese cabbage can be quite a challenge to eat up! When we get tired of hot pots, I fry it with meat!It's made with sesame oil and chicken stock granules, and thickened to give a proper flavour. It's a dish that makes you want to eat more. You'll find yourself eating more than you think.Add the leaf part of the Chinese cabbage at the end as it cooks quickly.When more thickness is required, add more diluted katakuriko. If it's too thick, dilute with hot water.Happo-jiru is a multi-purpose soy sauce-based seasoning commonly used in Aomori Prefecture! If you can't get your hands on any, substitute it with ordinary soy sauce. Happo-jiru is so versatile, I highly recommend it for every household. Recipe by Nanohana uchan

I wanted to make a good use of spring cabbage. The flavour of miso and oyster sauce mix is absolutely delicious.I used 2 large leaves of cabbage for this recipe.If your cabbage seems smaller in size, I would suggest you using a little more than that (3 to 4 leaves).The sauce is quite rich in flavour so you can be generous with the amount of vegetables you add to the pan. The finished dish will be as delicious if you swap japanese leek with onion. Recipe by Nanohana
