It turns out that it was quite easy to do. For two large okonomiyakis I started with about half of a medium head of cabbage chopped up. I added some chopped up green onions &#8211; about 4 of them. I had about 3\/4 cup of cut up cooked shrimp and half of a cooked chicken breast that I cut up into pieces so I added that also. The batter was made from one cup of flour, 1\/4 tsp of baking powder and some salt. I flavored that with just a bit of a fish dashi powder. Everything was mixed together along with two eggs. The mixture was piled onto the griddle to cook.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SVuZqwwnwcI\/AAAAAAAABdQ\/1Y7XxFC8lYM\/s1600-h\/IMG_6231.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SVuZqwwnwcI\/AAAAAAAABdQ\/1Y7XxFC8lYM\/s400\/IMG_6231.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285987547571798466\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>After cooking on one side the pancake was carefully flipped over to cook on the other side.

I made it from about 4 tbsp of ketchup, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, about 2 tbsp worschestershire sauce, a splash of mirin and a couple tbsp of brown sugar. This was heated in a pot just until everything mixed together and the sugar was dissolved. On top of the sauce is just mayo. Unfortunately I haven&#8217;t found bonito flakes yet so we ate these unadorned. But they were tasty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After having this in Osaka I wanted to try making okonomiyaki at home. It turns out that it was quite easy to do.
