Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) - Gourmet in Osaka



One of Osaka's "soul foods" is Okonomiyaki. "Okonomi" means "as you like" and "yaki" means that cooked or grilled. It is usually served on a teppan (iron coocking plate) in front of you.

The main ingredients are flour, grated nagaimo (type of yam), water or dashi (soup of fish and seaweed), egg, cabbage, green onion and red pickled ginger. Then you have to choose pork, seafood or other things to cook with main ingredients.

After cooking, you cover it in sauce and mayonnaise, and sprinkle it with dried bonito flakes and green seaweed. 

It's called "yaki" but it is very yummy.
