Best Okonomiyaki Vegetable Japanese Griddle Cake Recipes
OKONOMIYAKI-MEAT AND VEGETABLE GRIDDLE CAKES
I found this recipe from the package of okonomi sauce. You can change the meat, seafood and vegetable ingredients to suit your taste. I added some shredded carrots and chopped onions when I made this the first time. Some recipes asked for corn and green onions as well.

KANSAI-STYLE OKONOMIYAKI
I got this delicious recipe for Okonomiyaki from my friend Mayumi, who is from Osaka. Okonomiyaki is basically a savory vegetable and meat pancake that is topped with 2 kinds of sauce: Okonomi sauce, which is similar to Worcestershire sauce but is thicker and sweeter, and Mayonnaise - the mayonnaise used on okonomiyaki is a Japanese brand called Kewpie. It is a bit thinner and more tangy than the mayo sold in the US. Many people call Okonomiyaki "Japanese Pizza", which is a translation that doesn't really work, frankly. It is round, hot, and you choose what sort of meat you want to put in it; but that's pretty much where the similarities end. You can use whatever sort of meat you'd like in these, the most common is pork and/or shrimp; but you could use chicken or bacon or squid or anything, really. There are some ingredients in this recipe that you will need to get from a Japanese grocery store. If you don't have one in your town you can order them from Amazon.com - they sell the Okonomi sauce, Kewpie Mayonnaise, and an "Okonomiyaki Kit" which has Bonito Flakes and the mix for the batter in it. Weirdly, the kit does not have the two sauces in it. Tenkasu are crunchy bits of fried flour and they are also called Agedama. If you can't find them just leave them out. Nagaimo is a type of Japanese yam. If you can't find it you can just leave it out. Do not try to use the yams we have here in the US - it's a very different type of yam. If you can find the Nagaimo, when you grate it it will have a very runny, sticky texture, kind of similar to egg whites. I chop the cabbage, green onions, kimchee and pickled ginger all at the same time in my Cuisinart - it goes much quicker that way. You can make 1 large pancake or 2 smaller individual servings. I like to do 2 because they are easier to flip that way! Whew! Anyway, I hope you enjoy your Okonomiyaki! It is delicious and also a good way to get kids to eat some cabbage ;) *NOTE*: the Recipezaar computer doesn't recognize a lot of the ingredients in this and won't let me put them in the "Ingredients" area, so I am listing them here: Where it says "1 cup flour", it should say 1 cup Okonomiyaki mix. Also, these are needed: 1/2 cup Nagaimo, peeled & finely grated; 1/2 cup kimchee, finely chopped; 1/2 cup Tenkasu.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, nagaimo and water.
- Slowly beat in the okonomiyaki mix until it is well incorporated with the nagaimo/egg mixture. This is your okonomiyaki batter.
- Mix the cabbage, kimchee, green onions and pickled ginger into the okonomiyaki batter. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with Pam or vegetable oil.
- Fry the pork belly until it is just cooked (do not brown, it will be cooking more later) and set aside.
- Add the 1/2 cup of tenkasu to the okonomiyaki batter.
- Make a large pancake (or two smaller ones) in the skillet with the okonomiyaki batter - you will have to be turning this pancake over at some point, so don't make it so big that you won't be able to flip it.
- Place the cooked pork belly on top of the pancake and push it down a bit (gently) into the batter. Let the pancake cook for about 10 minutes. Keep peeking at the bottom - you want it to brown but not to burn.
- Flip the pancake over and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so until it is browned.
- Place the pancake on a plate and top with okonomi sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes - the heat from the pancake will make the bonito flakes "dance"! It's pretty cool.

JAPANESE VEGETABLE PANCAKES (OKONOMIYAKI)
My Japanese friend served these up one day and they were just amazing. The kids gobbled them up, and I even found myself making them as a "on the go" food for the kids, minus the sauce. A great way to get some veggies in. Feel free to add other stuff to the mix, such as cooked shrimp, bacon, pork or noodles. The amounts are guesses since I'm a bit of a dump cook. If you are not going to cook it all immediately, you may need to add some extra flour or drain the additional liquid that the salt pulls from the cabbage.

Steps:
- While oil is heating over medium high heat, make vegetable mixture. In a large mixing bowl, mix all the vegetables, eggs, flour, soy sauce, bonito and dashi.
- When oil is hot drop vegetable mixture into pan flatening it into a small pancake shape. This needs to be no thicker than 1/3 of an inch so that it has time to cook through. Fit as many as you can in your pan without overcrowding or dropping the temperature too much. Once browned on one side, flip and brown the other side. Remove to drain on a paper towel.
- For the sauce, mix the mayo, ketchup and worcestershire sauce together and then drizzle over the hot pancakes. Top with the dried seaweed and serve.

Steps:
- Toast the nori by waving it over a flame until it stiffens slightly, but be careful--it burns easily. Crumble into little pieces and set aside.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
- Add the flour and water and continue beating until you have a batter the consistency of pancake batter.
- Add the sake and salt.
- Fold in the cabbage, carrots, and scallions. Be sure to mix the batter and vegetables together evenly. Each okonomiyaki will use 1/4 of this mixture.
- Heat 1 tbsp. of the oil in a standard 10-inch skillet. Spoon 1/4 of the batter onto the hot skillet (like a pancake) making sure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Then sprinkle 1/4 of the shrimp or meat of you choice on top.
- Cook each side on medium heat for 2 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for another 5 minutes, occasionally turning and gently pressing the okonomiyaki with a spatula.
- Prepare three more okonomiyaki as above. Keep the finished pancakes warm in a low oven while making the rest, or use two skillets and make two okonomiyaki at a time.
- Serve hot with the sauce to taste--I recommend 1 tbsp. per okonomiyaki-- and top with about a tsp. of mayonnaise and a sprinkling of toasted nori.
