I may be living in Japan and cook on a daily basis, but I have to say that the number of times I cook Japanese dishes can be counted using only one side of my fingers. But after making curry puffs the other day, I thought of making something different again. I had my first okonomiyaki during the last summer break, when I was in Hiroshima and since then, I had not eat it for more than five times. I thought of why not I try making it myself considering that it doesn't look as hard as it seems to be. For you who have no idea what okonomiyaki is all about, it is a Japanese dish consisting of a pan-fried batter cake and various ingredients.
It is actually quite simple to make this dish. I just used a packet of okonomiyaki flour which comes in the exact measurement already. Here are the rest of the ingredients needed, where you will get three medium size of okonomiyaki:
Now I only realised that I have two egg and sausages there, why didn't I arrange them in some other way.
¼ chicken breast
5-6 sausages
2 eggs
¼ cabbage
Okonomiyaki sauce
Mayonnaise
Bonito flakes
There are a few types of flour inside the packet of the flour. Basically, I divide them into three parts as follows:
- The base, consisting of okonomiyaki flour and yam flour.
- The topping, which includes eggs, cabbages and flakes from the flour packet.
- The meat, consisting chicken fillets and sausages. Other types of seafood such as prawn and squid or crab can be used as well, according to your own preferences.
- Mix the two types of flour with 160cc (1/2 cup) of water.
- Break the egg and mix the topping ingredients together.
- Heat the flat pan and add minimal oil onto the pan.
- Pour the batter for the base, followed by the topping.
- Add the meat on top and leave it for one to two minutes before turning it.
- Cook it for five minutes and you are almost done with your okonomiyaki.
I know it looks like some fried eggs, but wait till you see the next picture.
The only thing left is to decorate it. So, just pour the okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise on top of it. You can pour it in whatever way you like, whether to draw a smiley face or even draw some animal shapes on it. Then top it up with bonito flakes and you are done.
I was eating my first piece of okonomiyaki, when I realised that I forgot to pour the green aonori on top of it. So, I made my second piece and this time, the aonori certainly made it look more appealing and tasty.
Any orders shall be placed in the comment's box. Thank you very much ;)
