Notes

  • *Tenkasu is tempura by-product crisps. It can be purchased from asian grocery stores but If you can not get it, it can be omitted.
  • *Aonori is also known as green laver. It is edible green seaweed, usually consumed as dried, finely flaked form. Often used for Okonomiyaki, Yakisoba, and takoyaki topping in Japanese cuisine.
  • *Check out The Shop if you don't have Asian grocery stores nearby. I separated the mixture into 4 seperate bowls to already mix and prepare into 4 okonomiyaki, however, you can mix all the ingredients in 1 large bowl and then divide it into 4 servings on the hot plate
  • *Pickled ginger can be mixed into the batter or garnish later sprinkling on top of Okonomiyaki. 
  • *In the video, I used pre mix flour so added just water.
