Ready in 30 Minutes – Okonomiyaki Recipe (Vegetarian/Vegan friendly)

What is okonomiyaki?

  • It is a Japanese savory pancake
  • Its a Japanese street food and per Japan Center it means “grilled as you like it.”
  • So there are a lot of ways to make it with different fillings and toppings.  It is often made with eggs, meat and flour.  Usually cabbage is used.
  • This is a vegetarian recipe.  If you don’t add cheese it is vegan.  

Two styles

  1. Osaka style (this version) – batter is mixed and cooked on skillet
  2. Hiroshima style is fried in layers, has noodles 

Why do I love this okonomiyaki recipe?

  • It is ready in 30 minutes
  • It has more veggies than flour (double veggie to flour mix)
  • I have been experimenting w flour types and have been using half whole wheat flour and half oat flour

Make sure to measure the veggies with scale
