Okonomiyaki


Today's dish is a traditional especially in Kansai area. It is consisted of a pan-fried batter cake and various ingredients. I think toppings and batters tend to vary according to region but I just make a my home's basic one.


Ingredients:flour, egg, dashi, grated yamaimo, cabbage mirin, salt, sliced pork, squid, small shrimp, oil.


Preparation:Make batter...First in a bowl mix egg add yamaimo. Next add salt, a little mirin, then flour. Mirin removes the powdery taste. (Okonomiyaki mix can also be used. Just add egg and water.) Dice cabbage to 1-1.5 mm pieces. Cut pork about into 3 cm. pieces. Remove skin of squid and cut into small pieces. And also wash shrimp.


How to cook:First of all add cabbage and filling to batter. Pre-heat hot plate or fry pan. Second cover surface completely with oil. Then pour batter into a circle about 15-20 cm in diameter. Cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Turn over with a spatula. Cook for about 5 min until completely cooked. Be careful not to overcook or burn and do not press down on it. Before eating you should put okonomiyaki sauce and mayonaisse on it.
