Okonomiyaki Recipe
Okonomiyaki is one of Osaka’s most famous dishes and a popular food throughout Japan. It is a savory-style pancake, topped with meat or shellfish. Throughout Japan, each region has its own style such as Hiroshimayaki, which uses yaki soba noodles.
It is topped with an array of garnishes to help cut through the heaviness of the pancake.
Okonomi sauce adds a sweet and salty taste and mayonnaise adds a delicious creaminess. It is topped with green onion, which acts as a pickle to help tie everything together. Okonomiyaki is a great party food to cook together or to eat at a Japanese festival.
