Osaka Style Okonomiyaki (おこのみやき)- Japanese style pancake (Osaka)

Osaka style okonomiyaki (おこのみやき) is a great snack for lunch or dinner.  The inspiration came from the okonomiyaki flour we bought at a Japanese grocery store.

You will need the following:

• 1 cup okonomiyaki flour
• 3/4 cup water
• Shredded cabbage
• 2 pieces of green onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 eggs
• 9 pieces of sliced pork belly or ham in pork belly's absence
• Otafuku okonomi sauce or mayonnaise in sauce's absence
• Oil for sauteing

Mix water and flour in a large bowl.  Add the rest of the ingredients (except the pork belly) and mix gently.  Divide the mixture in size portions of your choice.  In a medium size skillet heat the oil.  Place patties in skilled and layer the pork belly on top.  (I used ham so I mixed the ham with the rest of the ingredients).  Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown.  Flip on the other side.  Do not press.  Flip again to ensure it is fully cooked. 

Serve hot and with the okonomi sauce or the mayo. 

Enjoy!
