Things to know about Okonomiyaki Recipe
Japanese Traditional Vegetable Pancake from Osaka – Okonomiyaki is also known as a Japanese Pizza, but I think it is similar between a frittata and a savory pancake. The main ingredients are flour, egg, cabbage, pork, or other meat of your choice. Also, it comes with tempura scraps or tenkasu and top with various condiments like okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, dried bonito flakes, and dried seaweed.
It was first served in Japan during World War II and became a very popular dish right after the war. The basic crepe recipe was dated back to the Edo period from 1683 to 1868. It was a special dessert back then served during Buddhist ceremonies. During the 20s and the 30s, the dish evolved into a savory pancake with the addition of sauces, and the dish was called Yoshokuyaki. The name Okonomiyaki was first introduced in Osaka in the 1930s became a favorite snack all over Japan. The addition of mayonnaise was first tried inside a restaurant in Osaka in 1946.
