Osaka Style Okonomiyaki -Japanese Cabbage Pancake *Homemade Okonomiyaki Sauce Recipe Included

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese street food, and it can be either very simple or rather complicated. This recipe is my go to due to the simplicity and it tastes delicious!! You can use different proteins such as pork belly, shrimp,etc. This savory dish can make 3 lbs of cabbage disappear so easily. If you have a friend or family member who is not a big fan of veggies or if you love cabbage, this recipe can be a game changer!

You can use a hot plate for a grill or teppan-yaki, but I don’t have one. Turned out to be just perfect on regular frying pans :)
