Okonomiyaki Recipe Blog

Watch this earnest, careful okonomiyaki-making robot serve up what looks like a pretty decent Tokyo-style okonomiyaki.

I found this set of photos on RamenAndFriends.com showing the process of creating an okonomiyaki from a bowl of raw ingredients to a finished and decorated savory pancake.  It’s very typical of any okonomiyaki restaurant in Japan.

Some restaurants don’t have instructions on how to make okonomiyaki, or the instructions aren’t in English.  Use these pictures and simple instructions in order to know ahead of time how to do it!

These are good pictures, and a picture is worth 1000 words.  If you have any confusion about how to prepare a Kansai-style okonomi-yaki, these photos will clear it up.

Very rustic looking but definitely OISHII-sou!  Well done.

If you feel like being an Okonomiyaki Perfectionist, on the other hand, you will find this video quite useful and amusing. ^_^

Thanks to Free Online Japanese Recipes for helping me find this clip!  As discussed on the blog, “here are some points from the video clip to cook a perfect okonomiyaki:

• When mix the flour and ingredients, be sure to let some “air” go into the ingredients
• Don’t over beat/mix to avoid moisture come out from cabbage
• Make the thickness around 3cm (Kansai-style Okonomiyaki) “

On the internet, nobody knows you are really a dog… unless you make a video!  This is one of my favorite series on the internet (Youtube to be precise): Cooking With Dog.

Here is a Kanto-style okonomiyaki recipe presented by Francis the Dog.  (So cute.  Love the accent.)
