Quick Okonomi Sauce Recipe

Today a good friend of mine in my neighborhood, from the city of Akita, Japan, shared with me his recipe for Okonomi Yaki Sauce (aka Okonomi Sauce).  He warned me that it takes a long time, “all day!” — to make it.  With a brave look on my face I said, “I’ll do my best!”

And then with a twinkle in his eye, he told me a shortcut okonomi sauce recipe that works “almost as well”.
