Savory Japanese pancake with cabbage, pork, and toppings — Osaka/Hiroshima specialty
How to Make Okonomiyaki (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Okonomiyaki is a beloved Japanese savory pancake, often referred to as 'Japanese pizza' due to its customizable nature. Originating from the Kansai region, especially Osaka, this dish beautifully showcases Japan's culinary creativity using seasonal and local ingredients. The name 'okonomi' means 'what you like,' and 'yaki' means 'grilled,' emphasizing its versatility. Okonomiyaki is enjoyed across Japan at homes, restaurants, and street food stalls, making it a staple for families and gatherings. Its umami-rich flavor is achieved with a combination of dashi-infused batter, tender cabbage, and a variety of toppings, including pork slices, seafood, or vegetables. Traditionally cooked on a teppan (iron griddle), okonomiyaki is both satisfying and visually appealing, topped with tangy okonomiyaki sauce, creamy Japanese mayonnaise, aonori (seaweed flakes), and katsuobushi (bonito flakes). This healthy version focuses on lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables, and minimal oil, making it suitable for modern health-conscious diets without compromising on authentic taste. Okonomiyaki is a perfect snack and meal, reflecting Japan’s balance of flavor, nutrition, and presentation.

作り方
- 1
Prepare the batter by whisking flour and dashi stock in a bowl until smooth. Add eggs and mix well.
5 minutes
Use chilled dashi for a lighter, fluffier texture.
- 2
Fold in shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, and tenkasu (if using). Mix gently to avoid crushing the cabbage.
3 minutes
Do not overmix; a loose batter improves texture.
- 3
Heat a non-stick skillet or teppan with vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour half the batter onto the skillet, shaping it into a round pancake.
3 minutes
Press gently to maintain thickness and ensure even cooking.
- 4
Lay 2-3 pork belly slices on top of the pancake. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
6 minutes
Covering helps cook the pork thoroughly and steams the vegetables.
