Japanese pancake? Japanese pizza?
How about a “personalized” savoury Japanese pancake?
Greetings, everyone!
For the month of July, we are shining our spotlight on a dish well-known throughout Japan, especially in the West; Hiroshima and Osaka particularly. Prepared like a pancake and served like a pizza, okonomiyaki generally consists of batter and cabbage, and is cut into pie-like slices that resembles pizza before serving.
“Okonomi” literally means “what you want/ like” or “to one’s liking”, while “yaki” translates as “grilled” or “roasted”. That means toppings and ingredients of okonomiyaki besides the batter and cabbage may vary from octopus to pork, and vegetable to cheese accordingly to one’s taste! Eaten more as a snack than a meal, it may be found along street-side food stalls in Japan or indoor restaurants with either the okonomiyaki grilled in front of you or the ingredients provided to you to cook it yourself!
Sounds fascinating?
