Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima Style)

A layered savory pancake with noodles.

40 minutes
Serves 4
Lunch/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, water, and mirin to make a thin, crepe-like batter. Pour a ladleful onto a hot, oiled 400°F (200°C) griddle, spreading it into a thin 8-inch circle.

  2. 2

    Pile the shredded cabbage incredibly high on top of the crepe, add bean sprouts, and top with the pork belly slices. Drizzle a tiny bit of batter over the pile to act as glue.

  3. 3

    Carefully flip the entire towering structure so the pork is on the bottom. Do not press down. Let it steam and cook for 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, on an empty spot on the griddle, stir-fry the yakisoba noodles with a splash of water and a spoonful of okonomiyaki sauce.

  5. 5

    Using two spatulas, lift the cabbage stack and place it directly on top of the cooked noodles.

  6. 6

    Fry an egg on the griddle, break the yolk slightly, and immediately place the entire noodle-and-cabbage stack on top of the egg. Flip the whole thing over, slather with sauce, and garnish.
