Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake) (1)

Japanese “as you like” pancakes are savoury cabbage pancakes topped with bacon and grilled until golden brown before being topped with a tasty sauce mayonnaise mayonnaise. aka Japanese Pancakes, aka Japanese Pizza!

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き o-konomi-yaki) is the ultra popular Japanese style savoury pancake, aka Japanese Pizza! Okonomi translates to “as you like” and yaki to “grilled” giving you “grilled as you like” and as the name indicates, you can make these with your favourite filling ad toppings!
At their base okonomiyaki consist of flour, water, egg, and shredded cabbage which is mixed into a batter and cooked similar to a pancakes on a grill until both sides are golden brown, crispy and good! They are so easy to make! The pancakes are traditionally topped with okonomiyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce but thicker), mayonnaise, beni shoga (red pickled ginger), katsuobushi (bonito flakes), and aonori (seaweed flakes).
Authentic okonomiyaki includes grated nagaimo (similar to a yam) that adds a creamy texture to the batter and if you can’t find it, feel free to omit it! You can add whatever you like to the batter with common additions being pork belly, shrimp, octopus, calamari, oysters, soba noodles, udon noodles, veggies, cheese, smoked salmon, etc “as you like”!
My two favourite ingredients are bacon (rather than pork belly) and shrimp! I also like to add seasonal grated vegetables to the batter such as zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, apples, etc.
Given that these pizzas are “as you like” there are many different versions with the two primary ones being these Kansai/Osaka-style okonomiyaki and the more layered Hiroshima-okonomi which differ in that they are made in layers and typically include yakisoba noodles.
No matter “how you like them” these Japanese style pancakes or pizzas are sure to please, and disappear quickly! It’s good that they only take 30 minutes to make, so you can make them often!

    This reminds me of a British dish called “Bubble and Squeak.” This is cabbage and other left over vegetables, and anything else you might want to add, fried into a kind of pancake. It doesn’t look nearly so glamorous as it’s Japanese counterpart but it tastes great. I will have to post about it sometime.

    I love okonomiyaki – but I always buy a mix to make the batter with. Real okonomiyaki is made partially with mountain yam powder, which is a weird tuber that smells like fish when raw. It lends a really unique texture to the batter and makes it easy to get the consistency right… you just can't substitute it with anything else. I like throwing some mochi on mine to go with the bacon.

    I made it the other night and it turned out great! My old college roommate was from Osaka and she used to make these for us all the time. When we moved out, I found myself craving the pancake (I call it Japanese pizza) and searching the city for it w/ no success. Next time I think I will add small shrimp or squid pieces on top to give it some seafood flavor. Great recipe using ingredients found at local grocery stores.

    I plan on trying a few more of your ideas soon 🙂

    If you make this the Hiroshima way, you would add some Yakisoba to it… which is quite good but different.

    Try adding some pickled red ginger on top also, or some Bonito flakes.
    Tenkasu adds a nice bit of crunch on top.. thats basically the bits left over from Tempura batter

    Zuchinni and carrots eh? Thats a western version of the japanese version!

    I've went through many okonomiyaki restaurants in japan, but never seen a carrot and zuchinni one. I will try this, and they idea of grating them is interesting.

    Interesting okonomiyakis out there in japan although most are unknown other than the traditional, shrimp, beef, pork, squid outside japan are cheese balls, popcorn kernels (that pop when you cook) just to name a couple.

    To add more flavor, add a tablespoon of soy into the water, and/or powdered shrimp (dried tiny sakura shrimps heated on a pan then crushed into powder)and beni shoga strips (red ginger) on your preference.

    And my latest one i had mayo mixed with basil sauce.A first on my part. Mmmm try that one.

    and wheres aonori? the flaked seweed on the topping?

    I went to Tokyo two weeks ago, and I learned that you can make OCTOPUS BALLS with okonomiyaki flour and an aebleskiver pan. Just a thought – it's practically the same thing, but round and with a chunk of octopus in the middle. I'm gonna give it a try, but I thought you might get a kick out of it too.

    Kevin, We made our version tonight. since my sister in law, who is Japanese was in charge, we used pork belly strips, same as bacon but not smoked, etc. We also made a veggie okonomiyaki and used bonito flakes on top. Both were amazing and so great for people that have specialized dietary needs.

    We made it twice, the second time using up leftover crabmeat. My boyfriend had a hard time flipping it, so he made it into 4 smaller pieces and flipped those.

    i flavored the batter a bit more by using garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper. and instead of just water i used a pinch of chicken msg and water and soy sauce.

    and then for sauce i tried sweet and sour sauce.

    topping was sardines. haha.

    That's looks amazing! I have a friend who travels to Japan twice a year and raves about okonomiyaki and takoyaki. By the way, I've seen a Japanese mayonnaise (looks like a baby bottle) but never brought myself to buy it, do you know if there's any difference between that and the "american" mayo?

    Reply

  93. Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake) (97)Kevin says

    Alexandra: The wikipedia that Japanese mayo is generally made with rice wine vinegar or cider vinegar rather than distilled vinegar giving it a slightly different taste.

    My mother was Japanese, so this is the kind of food I consider comfort food. We made our own variation of this due to the limited amount of true Japanese ingredients available when I was younger. Now, there are oriental stores that offer much variety. I had left over cabbage that didn't get used on St. Patrick's Day, so every time I saw that head of cabbage in the fridge, I thought of making Japanese pancakes. I modified a recipe and used a can of crab meat (juice and all) instead of the fish stock. They turned out really tasty. Like I said, comfort food for me!

    Having lived in Osaka for awhile, I grew to love okonomiyaki. I like to throw an egg on to the grill while the okonomiyaki is on the plate and then put it on top of the egg. Hard to explain, but the result is quite tasty. I especially like to do the fried egg trick if I don't have any meat to make it more flavorful.

    I just made this tonight…delicious! I'm a vego so I skipped the bacon, and I put in sweet potato (aka kumara and also ambiguously called a yam) instead of zucchini. I've eaten okonomiyaki before, and I know how yummy the sauces are, but because I'm trying to avoid filling my fridge with more condiments (there's no room left in the door, put it that way) we topped them with whole egg mayonnaise and smoky bbq sauce…unconventional but very moreish!

    (In the ingredients, you list 1 green onion and also chopped green onion at the end – I interpreted this as meaning that the 1 green onion went into the mix, although the instructions don't mention it, and there is extra to garnish at the end. Well, at least, that's what I did and it worked out fine.)

    Hello; I absolutely love your blog, and THIS particular recipe got me to give cooking a go.
    A friend took me to an okonomiyaki restaurant in Kyoto and it was one of my favorite foods during my entire trip to Japan!
    I can get both sides of the okonomiyaki golden brown, but the inside is still mushy and doughy…any tips? (I'm a novice cook, if you couldn't tell).

  109. Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake) (113)MrsQ says

    Is the Japanese mayo spicey? I've never tried it. I've yet to go to the local asian store which is a few miles away, but any favorite brand that you like above the others?

    Reply

  110. Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake) (114)Kevin says

    Victoria: If you are finding that the inside does not finish cooking you can try making them thinner and or cooking at a lower temperature for longer.

    MrsQ: The main difference between the Japanese mayonnaise and North American Mayonnaise is that it commonly uses either rice wine vinegar or cider vinegar rather than distilled vinegar so there is only a minor flavour difference and it is not spicy. My favorite brand is the Kewpie brand that comes in a squeezable bottle so that you can get those nice thin lines as seen in the photo.

    Your Okonomiyaki came out just beautiful! This is my absolute favorite Japanese dish, and is very hard to find. I make my own too. I have used a Gluten Free pancake mix called Pamela's for the batter and it turned out great. (Don't forget the egg…) There is a restaurant in San Francisco called Izumiya (in the Japan town Shopping center http://www.sfjapantown.org/ that makes this and it is amazing. If your readers have not made this yet, they MUST! It is really not that hard. I have had Oko parties before where we kind of eat as we cook.

    This recipe reminds me of my time at University. I have a friend who spent a year in Japan and came back with this recipe, as students the idea of mixing vegetables with bacon and pancake was something which blew our tiny little minds.

    then again, he also came up with the ultimate "morning after the night before" breakfast:

    Naan bread, grilled with cheese, bacon and an egg on top. Smothered in either tomato sauce or baked beans. Culinary win.

    From the first moment I had okonomiyaki, it was a love hate relationship. I loved the concept, but hated the way it tasted. Through trial and error, I found the perfect combination. I made the pancake as usual, but mixed green onion in and topped it with cheddar along with bacon, the sauces. I also make one with smoked bacon and sweet corn. I reserve the bulk of the bacon for the top, but having a little mixed in it tasty.

    I make Swedish pancakes in a variety of ways. Happen to have left over cabbage and the other ingredients as well. I'm going to top the pancake/frittata with rice noodles and some delicious sauce left over from sweet and sour meatballs I had the other day. Garnish with green onion for presentation.

    I make Swedish pancakes in a variety of ways. Happen to have left over cabbage and the other ingredients as well. I'm going to top the pancake/frittata with rice noodles and some delicious sauce left over from sweet and sour meatballs I had the other day. Garnish with green onion for presentation. Can't wait to see and taste! Thanks for all the ideas, folks!

    I make this and sub. finely shredded peeled potato for some of the flour, and add a bit fish sauce for flavoring since I don't have dashi. Red ginger shreds and nori shreds are great in/on it, too.

    Yum! This sounds amazing! I just posted a recipe about kimchi pancakes that a friend said reminded her of okonomiyaki so I had to check it out! As soon as I can get some great veggies from the farmer's market this is going on the list!

    I had an exchange student from Japan stay with us (like 15 years ago) and she made something like this. She wasn't able to tell me what it was called. I finally decided to look up the ingredients. I do believe this is it. I remember it having cabbage and chicken and being a pancake. I kept asking her what do you need to make it and she said kept saying 'anything you like' Very frustrating at the time, but this kind of explains it.

    Great recipe! May I say that Kewpie mayo is essential? As is a nice cold glass of sake and dancing bonito flakes on top.

    Five stars! We have been making this Okonomiyaki recipe almost every week for years, adding the shredded zucchini to the mix. The kewpie Japanese Mayo and sushi sauce (eel sauce/unagi) on top with bacon make this dish a hit. Healthy, easy, and delicious. My kids love it!
