What a thing to watch, first thing after waking up! I'm drooling! And the pork weave is genius! I don't know why I never thought of doing that to an okonomiyaki!
I just made this for dinner last night after craving it for months! I had some argentinian shrimp to use up and did that in place of pork, and topped with a pitted umeboshi and some furikake (all I had). I def made the okonomiyaki sauce and wowww it really hit my craving perfectly. I needed my roommate's help flipping the pancake, and it wasn't the prettiest mess, but my god was it flavorful.
That sounds great! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your variation. I'm always experimenting with different mix-ins and toppings so it's fun to hear what other people come up with!
This looks delicious! Your step by step method gives me confidence to try this recipe! I especially love the flour trick on the pork belly. Genius! Thank you so much! ❤️
Really wonderful and unique video👌👌. The method to explain is very awesome. I have no word to describe the beauty and the way of cooking. Excellent job my friend👍. U r genius💕💕
I'm with you my friend! Okonomiyaki is the ultimate no recipe dish, and I've played with so many variations when it came time to do a recipe for the traditional version I had a ton of material to draw from.
THIS recipe of yours is immaculate, sir! I first had okonomiyaki at a friend’s house, her mom cooked it for us. I’ve tried a few others since (haven’t been to Japan, only tried at restaurants in California and Honolulu,) but they just weren’t getting that authentic Osaka style that my friend’s mom grew up eating/cooking. Yours reminds me greatly of hers, and I’m so excited to give this a try on my stone griddle!
Hi Rose, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for sharing your taste memories. It's funny how those things stick with us. I have a lot of other authentic Japanese recipes adapted for Western kitchens, here so I hope you have a chance to try some of them out.
Looks absolutely delicious and good 😋 Yummy 😄😋 thanks for sharing wonderful content with great information thank you please stay connected Fully Watched 😊☺️
Cooking with Jonny says Hello 👋! Your video is truly amazing and shows your passion and devotion towards beautiful food. I am so lucky to see your work through your channel. Thank you for sharing! 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks Kaye! it ensures even coverage and it also makes it stick to the top of the okonomiyaki better so it doesn't all fall off when you flip it over.
Oh my, This looks so delicious with crispy pork belly on top! Yum! I'm so hungry right now! It's one of my favorite Japanese food but I've never tried eating it with pork. I love the step-by-step method. It excites me to try this recipe. Your editing skill is superb! I'm going to try this tomorrow lunch. Thank you so much!
Okonomiyaki is such an incredible dish and you show the many variations possible. This presentation gives so many healthy and delicious ingredients. Japanese cooking is just fantastic and you presented it to be possible at home with your great video.
Thank you for the kind words Cindy! Some of the ingredients may be unfamiliar, but Japanese cuisine as a whole tends to be fairly simple and very easy to make at home provided you can get access to the ingredients. This one is great because it's so flexible, all you really need is cabbage, eggs, and flour to make a basic okonomiyaki. The rest is up to your tastes and what you happen to have on hand.
Fantastic Marc! So delicious. Maplecook talked me into making a video of okonomiyaki. I'm glad he did, it was amazing. Awesome video Marc, have a great day my friend 👍👍
Getting to Osaka and getting to experience the food scene there is probably the top of my travel bucket list, so seeing this is a total thrill Marc! You cooked it up beautifully! The interlaced pork belly totally reminds me of making pastry lids. I'd love to see you make Hiroshima style okonoiyaki! Thanks so much for this!
Fully agreed! At the beginning, I was wondering how he was gonna, "genius it up," because it's such an established standard dish, but sure enough, he came through!
Hahaha thanks Maplecook, I was the kid that always took apart things in our home growing up trying to find ways to improve them. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" was a frequent refrain our household.
@@NoRecipes No waaaaay!! I was the kid who broke EVERYTHING, trying to find out how it worked! I still remember my father telling his friends, "I can't buy this kid anything, without him breaking it!" haha
@@NoRecipes you are welcome my dear friend, thank you for uploading a good content, so blessed that I found your channel, looking forward to your next adventure, all the best to you and yours
OMG Marc this is one of my favorite Street foods in Japan I love this I've made it but mine don't come out as beautiful as yours LOL anyways brother I love this I make it all the time my kids love it it's when I make it it's usually a special day or but you take care of my brother I love you I love your videos as always your friend in southern Nevada Nicholas
Thanks Nicholas! The trick is to go low and slow. If you're having trouble flipping it, there are a couple ways to do it, the easiest way is to flip a second frying pan over the first and flip them over together, but you have to be SUPER careful not to spill hot oil on yourself. If you try this make sure to sop up any excess oil first and use mitts and towels to cover your hands and forearms.
@@NoRecipes Well Marc I don't have a problem flipping it not my problem the ones I made come out pretty good for what I'm saying is they don't look as pretty as yours but I still make them they still come up pretty good like I said my kids love them and I just use one spatula to flip the whole thing I don't have a problem flipping them and then again I have a big grill that I cook I cook mine on I don't use frying pan I find the frying pan to be a little restrictive so I have a grill it's pretty good size grill and it's a gas grill so it comes out pretty come out pretty good but I've never tried weaving the the bacon like you do that's what I'm saying is that yours are prettier than mine mine just has strips of bacon on autumn and that's it LOL brother you take care and I'll see you on the next one your friend in southern Nevada Nicholas
In the Netherlands, I've found a great substitute for the tenkasu which are crispy 'soup balls' (krokant soepbolletjes). They're little crunchy fried balls of batter meant for sprinkling over finished soups.
Hi Ritsuko, that should work, but I have a recipe for vegan Okonomiyaki on this channel you can search for. I include some other ingredients to amp up the umami.
Thanks Veronika, Hiroshima-style has pork belly too, but it doesn't get quite as crisp because it ends up in the middle. I'm trying to see if I can arrange a trip down to Hiroshima to do some research before attempting my own version.
@@NoRecipes Yay 😍Can't wait for it :D In my version (I learned from a fellow hungarian) the pork belly is at the bottom for a while and ends up inside at the very end :)
Perfect timing, just got back from Osaka and miss these so much. One thing I noticed is that okaasan always makes batter, rests, then adds eggs last when combining fillings, does it matter when the eggs go in? I'd love to see you do the Hiroshima Okonomiyaki, finally I love the pork weave, I'm taking that idea.
Resting the batter will help any gluten that's developed during mixing relax but you can avoid this if you use cold ingredients and don't mix aggressively. Adding the eggs after this is kinda counter productive because you need to mix it well to get the eggs incorporated and you're going to develop more gluten. By mixing the dashi and eggs alone, you don't have to worry about overmixing it, then you can mix the combined eggs and dashi with the flour until they're just barely combined.
Don't tell Hiroshima people, I prefer Osaka style okonomiyaki 🤣🤣 just because for me the noddle kinda too much. Also I like add slice cheese on my okonomiyaki 🤣🤣
It's an interesting idea, but pancake mix usually includes sugar and you wouldn't want that in here. It also always includes leavening to make the pancake rise, which is not supposed to happen with okonomiyaki.
will chinnese cabbage work or do i need classic cabbage and any substitudes for ketchup im allergic to tomatoes milk and potatoes so i need to know what to use
Hi Matej, I don't recommend using Chinese cabbage. It has a much higher percentage of water and will make the okonomiyaki watery. As for the ketchup, you could probably just leave it out. The sauce won't be quite as fruity, but it will have plenty of flavor from the other ingredients.
@@matejmatuska6700 Okonomiyaki means "griddled as you like it", so if you like sweet chili sauce, then I say go for it! As for the cabbage, I don't think I've ever had Slovak cabbage before, but is it like the kind of cabbage shown in the ingredients section of the video? This is the same cabbage used for German Sauerkraut.
@@matejmatuska6700 The purpose of the tenkasu is to add a fried batter flavor to the okonomiyaki while also adding a bit of fluffyness. You won't get the flavor with panko, but It would give you the fluffiness.
Hi Diyana, most recipes will call for yamaimo but I've gotten a lot of feedback in the past that it is difficult to find outside of Japan, so I've replaced it with an extra egg (which achieves a similar result). If you have yamaimo available to you, you can replace 1/4-1/2 cup of pureed yamaimo for the egg. I've written more details about all these ingredients in the full recipe on my website: norecipes.com/osaka-okonomiyaki-recipe/
Seeing a Matsumoto version of Hiroshima Okonomiyaki would be epic!
Throwing it on the list👍🏽
