Sweet potato flour works well because it’s soft (rather than grainy or chalky) and doesn’t require soaking time the way tapioca does. But you can just use okonomiyaki flour (or even all-purpose flour) if you don’t care about being gluten-free. I develop most of my recipes to be gluten-free because I feel better eating that way.

Egg replacer would probably work. I never touch the stuff. Soaked flax seeds work just as well as egg whites for binding things together. Tapioca flour can also help here (adds more chewy texture).

Sorry for the delay in replying!

Hi! I’ve always loved okonomiyaki! But after turning vegan I was a bit sad when I realised the original recipe uses eggs… but you came up with this amazing recipe! Just a couple of questions:
- Can I not use sweet potato flour?
- Do you have any idea if an “egg replacer” would be useful for a variation of your recipe?

Thank you! Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to say thank you so, so much for posting a gluten-free okonomiyaki recipe. I was just diagnosed with Celiac and the thing I was most upset about giving up okonomiyaki. You are amazing — thank you!

What a great blog & blog topic! Wow!

I was led here through a search for “vegan okonomiyaki.” It used to be my ultimate comfort food (I’m GF but I’d just use whatever GF flour mix I had on hand) but I became vegan in December, so it’s been sad not to have it anymore. I will have to pick up some sweet potato flour so I can make this, and I am curious to try your flax seed mayo as well!

Thanks for bringing okonomiyaki back into my life!

Thanks so much! And that’s interesting how you ended up finding the site, thanks for letting me know.

If you have any innovations, let me know! I’m going to recharge this blog pretty soon.

Great site. I love Okonomiyaki ever since someone gave me a sample at an Asian supermarket in Mountain View, CA. I bought the commercial mix and Okonomi sauce. Yum.

When I first googled for Okonomi a few months ago, I found a bunch of links to YouTube videos, but I didn’t find your site. However, today I put in Okonomi yaki sauce, and there you were. I appreciate the recipes for the sauce and for the red pickled ginger. Today I used the commercial mix again but with a lot of the ingredients from your vegan recipe (including steamed broccolli, carrots, and grated fresh ginger). I didn’t even miss the pork. Nice site!
