I’ve searched a few times for a recipe I like for okonomiyaki, only to be disappointed. So I thought I would share my own. This is what I had for dinner. It was delicious, easy, and made out of stuff I generally have on hand in my kitchen.
Batter Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 egg
3/4 cup chicken stock (or any kind of stock)
Other Ingredients:
I used shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions in mine, but okonomiyaki means “grilled whatever you like” so really you could use any meat, seafood, or vegetable you want.
Step 1:
Combine flour, egg, and chicken stock in a bowl and whisk until combined.
Step 2:
Pour half of the batter onto a griddle pan, and shake and swirl the batter into a circular shape.
Step 3:
When the bottom starts to harden, add the vegetables to the top in a thin layer, and using the spatula press them into the batter.
Step 4:
When the bottom is cooked, carefully flip over and grill the vegetable side. Press down with the spatula to completely cook the vegetables.
Step 5:
I topped my okonomiyaki with tonkatsu sauce (which you can get at any asian supermarket and some regular grocery stores) and shredded nori. Other toppings are bonito flakes, mayonnaise, or ketchup.
