Okonomi-yaki お好み焼き Japanese Pizza (Japanese Savory Pancake)

和食レシピ

Do you know “Okonomi-yaki”?

Okonomi-yaki (Okonomiyaki) is a kind of Japanese grilled dishes cooked on a hot plate. Freshly cooked Okonomi-yaki with juicy sweet sauce and mayonnaise makes you smile. It’s perfect for your home party. Let’s enjoy cooking with your family and friends!

Okonomi-yaki is mainly made of cabbage, egg, and flower. The ingredients and recipes are varied depending on the region or the home. Since “Okonomi” means “what you like” and “yaki” means “grill”, you don’t have to prepare any special ingredients except the basic ones. You can try various things what you like in the fridge!

There are roughly 2 styles of recipes, called “Kansai-fu (Kansai style)” and “Hiroshima-fu (Hiroshima style).” This is a recipe of “Kansai-fu” Okonomi-yaki which I often cook at home.

One-point advice ワンポイント・アドバイス

It’s better to mix the batter of Okonomi-yaki lightly again just before you grill it. Because it becomes watery as time goes on.

You can keep them in the freezer if you cannot eat all. Wrap them with plastic wrap one each and put them in a freezer bag. (Get the air out of bag.) It’s best for about a month.

When you want to eat, just heat with a microwave or a frying pan.

手順3のあと、時間が経つと水分と分離してくるので、焼く直前にもう一度軽く混ぜると上手く焼けます。

たくさん作って、食べきれなかった時には冷凍保存できます。一枚ずつラップで包んでからフリーザバッグに入れ、空気を抜いてから冷凍しておくと約1か月保存ができます。

食べるときには、電子レンジで加熱するかフライパンで焼けばOKです。
