Okonomiyaki
Okonomiyaki的做法说明
As one of the most popular food/snack in Japan, Okonomiyaki feed the people with various nutrition. Interesting as the food itself, I first learned this delicious food from one of my Indian roommate/friend who can speak Japanese pretty well and watch anime without captions when I studied in United States. Of course I believe he learned how to cook the Okonomiyaki from a Japanese of his, otherwise this would be an insanely unusual cooking strategy that blows his mind thousands feet high in the air. This food did serve us a lot of calories and fun. Before he left for another university, he taught me how to cook this "fast food". Fortunately, the Okonomiyaki flour, which might be the hardest-to-be-found ingredient, is not that hard to find in a world as today. So, enough of the story, let's begin.

Okonomiyaki的做法与步骤
- 第1步.
Prepare a clean big bowl (big enough to put all the chopped cabbage in). Put flour in first, then water, and eggs the third. Mix them well and then add in the chopped cabbage (strips in shape would be the best) and chopped green onion (shape doesn't really matter in fact). The final mixture would look like as shown in picture.
- 第2步.
Place about 1/2 tbsp oil in cooking pan. Use median-low heat (if 10 in scale, use 4). Put in about 1/3 of the total amount of mixture, make it a round shape and about 1/2 inch thick patty. Cook about 3 minute or till bottom become brown color.
- 第3步.
If you like, add three slices of bacon/pork belly on top of the patty.
- 第4步.
Turn the patty over to cook the other side (if you added the bacon, then we are gonna cook the bacon side now). It takes about 4 minutes. Use your own judgement to make sure the patty is fully cooked.
- 第5步.
Flip again the patty. Cook additional 2 minutes. And then you're good to go.
- 第6步.
Serve with the sauce you like and add some dried Bonito shavings on top. Have fun!
小贴士
Shake the pan if you're not sure about whether the patty is fully cooked. If the patty can move freely as a whole and not fall apart, then it's highly possible that the patty is 99.95% cooked. Or you can try a small piece to see if I'm correct.
