The ingredients needed to make My Family's Go-to Recipe for Okonomiyaki:
  1. Get 1/2 of a medium head Cabbage (chopped)
  2. Take 200 grams Pork belly slices (cut into bite sizes)
  3. Make ready Batter: (It's a very thick, sticky batter)
  4. Prepare 6 tbsp ●Cake flour
  5. Take 4 tbsp Nagaimo, also called mountain yam (grated into pulp)
  6. Get 4 tbsp Dashi stock (or water + dashi stock granules)
  7. Take 2 ●Eggs
  8. Take 2 tbsp ●Tempura crumbs
  9. Get 1 Okonomiyaki sauce
  10. Prepare 1 Mayonnaise
  11. Get 1 Aonori
  12. Take 1 Bonito flakes
Steps to make My Family's Go-to Recipe for Okonomiyaki:
  1. Mix the batter ingredients marked with a ●. Mix just the flour and dashi stock first, and then it'll be easier to add other ingredients. Sakura shrimp and squid (not listed) make good additions to the batter too.
  2. Toss about one and a half handfuls of the cabbage and a ladle full of the batter into a bowl, and mix well. Pour the mixture onto a pre-heated electric griddle, and spread it evenly into a thick circle.
  3. The batter will not flow out around the mound of cabbage. You might be worried that there isn't enough batter, but it's fine. The only concern here would be whether there's enough cabbage.
  4. Top this with as much sliced pork belly as you like. Use thin slices and line them up so that there's no space in between! Or, at least that's how my family likes it.
  5. When the bottom has browned, flip the patty over. Make absolutely sure not to press or smash the patty! You'll have to be content with just adjusting the shape a little.
  6. After a bit, it's easier to use 2 spatulas to flip the patty over again.
  7. Brush the top with your preferred okonomiyaki sauce, top with aonori and katsuobushi (bonito flakes), and enjoy.
  8. This time, the okonomiyaki was cooked by my husband, who usually doesn't cook it. The shape came out poorly, but see! Even an amateur was able to make this. It didn't fall apart.
