Okonomiyaki is one of the most famous street foods in Japan, specifically in the Kansai region. Traditionally filled with pork belly or octopus we swapped in easier to find shrimp. A thin batter made with a special sweet potato starch is fried on a griddle with shredded cabbage and octopus for filling. The pancake is drizzled with a tangy brown sauce and kewpie mayonnaise (made richer than normal mayonnaise with egg yolks and extra seasonings) and sprinkled with thinly shaved katsuobushi, which are so thin they “dance” from the heat of the pancake.

My family loved it, though we are adventurous eaters. Made one tray with shrimp and one tray without for the vegetarians. Both were successful. Reminds me a little of egg foo young but fresher, less Westernized, and without the heavy gravy. The kewpie mayo and bulldog sauce were not available locally, so had to go to Amazon but well worth it. The Bonito flakes I had on hand, but I don’t think I’d miss them if I didn’t have any.
