- Press the waffle iron together and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes one side and then flip it over and cook the other side for about 2 minutes. If you are using an electric waffle iron you will need to experiment with the cooking time.

Notes
- *1 If you cannot buy dashi powder, you can make it from scratch. See Dashi Recipe.
- *2 If you can not buy commercially made Tenkasu, you can omit this ingredient or make it from scratch. See Tempura recipe.
- *3 Okonomi means "as you like", so I used bacon but you can substitute this with anything you like. You could use ham, thinly sliced pork or beef etc. If you use those ingredients, you don't need to mix them into the batter but instead, top the batter with them before you press the waffle iron.
- *4 Homemade Okonomiyaki sauce. See Okonomiyaki recipe.
