Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add the dashi or water and mix until smooth.
Add the eggs and mix again until the dough is smooth.
Add chopped cabbage, spring onions, shrimp (or pork) and pickled ginger to the batter. Mix well to coat all ingredients.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or teppanyaki griddle over medium heat and add a little oil. Pour a portion of batter (about a quarter) into the pan and form a thick disk. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden-brown. Turn the okonomiyaki over with a spatula and cook the other side for a further 5-7 minutes.
Transfer okonomiyaki to a plate and coat generously with okonomiyaki sauce. Add Japanese mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern.
Sprinkle with aonori and garnish with katsuobushi. Repeat the process for the remaining three okonomiyaki. Serve immediately and enjoy hot. Itadakimasu!
Recipe notes
Okonomiyaki is a dish deeply rooted in Japanese culinary culture, and each region has its own version. The most notable difference is between the okonomiyaki of Osaka and that of Hiroshima. In Osaka, all the ingredients are mixed into the dough before cooking, whereas in Hiroshima, the ingredients are layered and often include yakisoba noodles, making Hiroshima okonomiyaki more complex and voluminous.
A fun aspect of okonomiyaki is the use of katsuobushi, dried bonito flakes, which literally dance on the hot dish thanks to the heat that causes them to undulate. These flakes add not only flavor, but also a captivating visual effect that often surprises those unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine.
Okonomiyaki is also known as a convivial and social dish, often prepared and shared at parties or meals with friends, where everyone can create their own version by adding the ingredients of their choice. It's a dish that truly embodies the spirit of sharing and adaptability of Japanese cuisine.
