Okonomiyaki

Tiba-tiba teringin sgt nak makan okonomiyaki @ Japanese pancake.

Japanese pizza is basically pan fried flour mixture with lots and lots of shredded cabbage (the more the tastier!) topped with seafood like squid, shrimp, tako (octopus), and virtually everything you want, as long as you like it. In fact, “okonomi” means “whatever you like”, so you can’t go wrong with the ingredients.

Dah jumpe resepi, nnti boleh la cuba. Haaa... Missed by old days in Oita!!!

Jie kata boleh letak yama imo, nak bagi lebih lembut & sedap. Mane nak cari yama imo kat M'sia nih?!

Ingredients:

Base:
1 cup flour
3/4 cup dashi, water or grated yam
1 egg
1/8-1/4 of a cabbage

Toppings - any of the below:
Chicken
Squid, Octopus, other seafood
Corn
Mushrooms
Onion

Garnishing - any of the below:
Katsuo-bushi (dried bonito flakes)
Sakura-ebi (dried shrimps)
Beni-shoga (red ginger)
Ao-nori (green seaweed)

Sauces:
Okonomiyaki sauce & Mayonnaise

Method: (cut and paste from other entry)

Mix the flour, eggs and dashi or water or grated yam until the mixture is smooth and lump free. Add in the cabbage and mix thoroughly.

Heat oil in pan. When the oil is hot enough, spread the mixture into the pan, forming a nice round shape. Let the underside brown before adding the toppings on top and turnover, brown both sides nicely.

Dish them up and spread mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce and all the toppings you want.

Remember to eat it while its hot!
