Easy Okonomiyaki Recipe | Japanese Cabbage Pancake

This recipe is a simplified version of Osaka-style okonomiyaki, made with easy-to-find ingredients and simple steps. However, for an authentic taste, it is recommended to use special ingredients like katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and beni shoga (pickled ginger). The okonomi sauce is a must-have for okonomiyaki because it adds an extra dimension to the dish's flavor profile—a delicious combination of savory, sweet, and umami flavors.

INGREDIENTS (1 serving):
For the batter base:
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
⅓ cup water
½ tsp soy sauce (as a substitute for dashi powder)

For the mix-ins:
1 egg
1 cup green cabbage, coarsely shredded
¼ cup green onion, finely chopped
¼ cup Panko bread crumbs (as a substitute for tenkasu)
1 Tbsp red pickled ginger (Beni-shoga)
3 strips of bacon

For the toppings:
Bonito flakes (Katsuobushi)
Green onion

For the sauce:
Okonomi sauce
Kewpie mayonnaise (optional)

This is challenging to find but do try to seek out imported Japanese Okonomiyaki flour mix or Korean pancake mix. Secret ingredient? The former has potato yam flour in it and the latter has guar gum - both add a slight jelly like effect - nice 😊

Just for reference, traditionally the pork belly/bacon in this instance, faces up in the end 👍🏽

[nicoleclay]

my version was more of an omelette with cabbage in it.. what are you supposed to taste more? The egg or the cabbage?

[prodsegi]

Any good non-pork alternatives for the protein?

[adonian]

I'd have to skip the Bonito... Sorry, don't like fish, but WOW it looks tasty and simple to make.
make your own tenkasu, its so simple, so why replace it with panko? But it is your recipe, and I think I'm gonna try it.

[gilliandidierserre]

This is excellent do you have a recipe for okonomi sauce tks

[earlwright]

Those Bonito flakes where moving around

[tanmary]

What is a substitute for bonito flakes?

[az]

Can you replace soy souce with something else? It's so expensive and hard to find in my country that we can't really cook asian food because it's needed in everything.

[marylockwood]

Is there a substitute version of the okonomiyaki sauce?

[InfiniteFro]

I feel like this caught on bc it was an amalgamation of nostalgic flavors for Japanese people. Maybe it was born from combining popular ingredients at the time that were leftover. Maybe it is bc they were more creative and willing to try different things. Who knows? I don't. Constantly debate making it but I'm not a huge fan of fish flakes.

Rather different than the okonomiyaki I had in Hiroshima
