Recipe: Okonomiyaki Aka Japanese Pizza 🇯🇵

This is Japan on a plate for me.  Creamy Kewpie mayo, fishy bonito flakes and okonomiyaki sauce – full of umami flavours.

Okonomiyaki means ‘grilled as you like it’, and is made from seasoned flour, cabbage, and whatever you have in the fridge.  An easy and quick meal to make.

Our Japanese friends showed us how it is made.

The flour and egg is used to bind the ingredients, not a pancake like gloop.

Cooking away on the grill.

Press down and flip when brown.

Cover with mayo and okonomiyaki sauce. HP/Brown sauce can be used.
