How to Make Okonomiyaki

By Emika Uetake

There are a lot of traditional foods in Japan. Some Japanese food is difficult to make. But Okonomiyaki is easy, cheap, and delicious. Osaka is the birthplace of Okonomiyaki. I love Okonomiyaki, so I’ll tell you how to make that.

You need to prepare flour, some wate, some pieces of pork or shellfish (I think fish and shell fish is better than pork), cabbage, Okonomi sauce, dried bonito and powdered green seaweed (laver). Next, you mix flour, some water, some port or fish ande shellfish and cabage until the dough becomes fluffy. Third, you fry that turned over. Then, if you like, you can add an egg to the pan on top of the dough. Next, you serve that on dishes and dust Okonomi sauce, dried bonito and green laver on that. You don’t have Okonomi sauce? It’s okay. Ketchup or another sauce can be used instead of Okonomi sauce. And mayonnaise can make it more delicious!

Some people say that Japanese food tastes peculiar. But if you don’t like it, you can change material in the dough. Making Okonomiyaki is easy if you follow these steps!
