Ingredients

- 250g flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 80g corn flour
- 350ml dashi stock
- 2 eggs
- 200g pork belly, skin off and sliced thin
- 1/4-1/2 green cabbage, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp pickled ginger, diced
- Handful tempura batter bits (optional)
- 100ml otafuku okonomi sauce
- 100ml Japanese mayo
- Handful bonito flakes
- 2 spring onions
- Nori, ground

Method

1. Start by seasoning the cabbage and sit aside.
2. Next, mix the batter by placing the flour, baking powder and cornflower into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and dashi stock.
3. Using a whisk, mix until you have a relatively smooth batter.
4. Add the sliced spring onion whites, cabbage, tempura bits and pickled ginger to the batter and stir through.
5. In a nonstick pan or on a flat top, start with a small amount of oil, then put strips of your pork followed by a nice large mound of the pancake batter.
6. Cook this for 5-6 minutes before you flip it over and continue to cook for a further 5-6 minutes or until it is cooked through.
7. Remove from the pan and garnish with okonomi sauce, Japanese mayo, bonito flakes, the greens of the spring onion and the Nori seasoning.
8. Enjoy!

You nailed it!!!
That's exactly how we cook Okonomiyaki in Japan🇯🇵!!!!Sauce you used is the most famous one in Japan called "Otafuku sauce."
日本の皆さん。彼は本物ですね！！

お好み焼き (Okonomiyaki) roughly translates to "how you like it grilled" or "whatever you want grilled", so your emphasis of putting whatever you want in is very in spirit. Looks great, おいしい！

Youtube is working its magic. My GF is cooking your recipe of Okonomiyaki right now and Im watching this video. What a day!

After hearing chefs in their videos say “it’s not the same without Kewpie mayo” I didn’t believe them until I bought some myself. I haven’t purchased any other mayo every since 🥲😂

My missus makes this all the time.
Some cheats to make it even easier for home cook but still get max flavour
Just get pre made okonomiyaki flour from a japanese/asian grocery - there's a few companies, I like the one with the red label best
Dice up some British Butcher Co Smoked Bacon and fry it up nice and crispy, add into your mix
Instead of tempura you can use Panko breadcrumbs
Instead of Dashi we use Miso w/ hot water
We don't like pickled ginger, our toppings are bonito, the sauces, spring onion and a shake of furikake (the seaweed and white seasame seed one)

Born in Osaka to an Okan mom, living in the US. Really appreciate this video. Will make okonomiyaki for my American/Japanese daughter tomorrow.

Really love these type of cooking videos where it's just chill and not so much of the usual loud voice and over exaggerated actions handling the ingredients that homemade cooks do in their contents.

Thanks for the reminder Andy. Just made this for breakfast/brunch and it was phenomenal. Didn’t have any kewpie mayo to hand but that’s ok. After all okonomi means “what you like” and yaki grilled or cooked! OISHI!

We had a friend cook this for us at an anime dinner night like a year ago and my now pregnant wife is craving it. This seems so simple so ling as I gather the ingredients I'll be cooking this real soon! Thanks chef!

Ate this at the last day of a trip in Japan, it was awesome. Traveled 300km (a lot for European standards) to a restaurant to relive it but it didn't taste the same.

Next step is to make it myself I guess. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

We made this a ton in college. Got lucky with having a great Asian grocery near by. We just got the okinomiyaki flour. Used a box grater for the cabbage and honestly my preferred over shaved.

Thank you Andy for the great video and the delicious recipe 👍

Andy a classic ingredient in Okonomiyaki is Nagaimo(slimy potato) they add it to the batter after making it into oroshi, just whisk it in it adds a creamy texture. try it next time!
