Am I the only one that loves the white wall? It gives the place this clean and pro feeling that is complemented by how clean the kitchen looks in the next shot. Just my honest opinion
@@alicesonorbe1762 Hahah it was just made up after having had it only one time. Disclaimer: I'm definitely not claiming this is anything like the real thing at all :P On a nonstick pan, place a flour tortilla and some finely shredded cabbage on top, then thinly sliced onion and shredded ham. Place a sunny side up fried egg on top of it and top with kewpie mayo and oyster sauce :P
That is great because my understanding is this recipe was created after WWII when food was scarce. It's an easy way to stretch out cabbage and flour to a filling meal (they probably didn't include any meat/fish back then). So, that's very much in the spirit of the original recipe.
ɦɛʏɨȶֆʝɛֆֆƈǟȶ aka Jessica It’s kind of contextual... you can call something cooking on a bbq grill Yaki and you can call something cooking in a pan or on a flat iron Yaki as well. It’s mostly used for cooking methods that use pretty direct heat.
I first made okonomiyakis for my bf about a year ago bc I thought it’d be nice to get more variety in our stay-in dinner date meals. Totally backfired bc then it was like the only thing he wanted for dinner and they were kinda time consuming (I’d made crunchy tempura bits and extra toppings). Eventually I said we could keep having them if HE made them, so I took him with me to the Asian market, showed him where everything was, and taught him how to make them. Now it’s un-backfired bc I get to eat okonomiyakis 2+ times a month but someone else does all the work lol. He’s even come up with a keto version, and a “southerner style”.
Not true: even Vikings have cabbage, onions and eggs and flour and dashi can be made with any fish and seaweed stuff like dried sardines etc. Japanese quisin can easily be adapted to local ingredients... F.e. mayo can be diy'd etc. 🙃
I’ve been making this for a few years and it’s amazing. My wife lived in japan and asked me to learn how to make it and it is easily my favorite thing to make and eat. Worth the effort.
The okonomiyaki sauce here in this video is an American version. Traditional Japanese is a plum, dates and peach based sauce called Otafuku. The recipe varies a great deal from region to region. In Australia most places use Teriyaki sauce or a BBQ sauce. Of course choose the sauce you like best and don't forget the Kewpie mayo! :)
This is real authentic!! Even with the homemade okonomiyaki sauce, it seems pretty close to the real thing for me. I think there are some tiny differences, like how in my family we have a massive hot plate and while we're cooking the main pancake we'll fry the pork belly and shrimps on the side and pop them on right before we flip it. We'll also do whole shrimp rather than cutting it into small pieces, and we'll get squid too. Also pro tip: once you've turned the pancake over poke holes in it with chopsticks to get heat coming through more easily! But yea sick vid!
As a Japanese, I was always confused why okonomiyaki gets referred to as a “pancake”. It’s nothing like a pancake to me and it feels similar to if someone was describing orange juice as “soup”.
Josh, I'm writing to thank you. I had never heard of this before it was served up on my TH-cam feed. I live in the UK and spend time with the family in northern europe. My daughter is coeliac and a veg avoider. This can be twisted into a GF delight with 30% veg. With finely shredded cabbage, softened onions, kwispy bacon and bbq sauce it gets inhaled. And it's done from start to washing up in 30min.
If you have access to it, add grated Nagaimo/Yamaimo, Japanese long/mountain yam to the batter. The texture gets so much better due to the gooey structure of the yam 😍
I've made Okonomiyaki dozens of times and just tried your recipe. It was great. It was my first time making the sauce and I was impressed. I still added Yamaimo since my Osaka friends swear by it, but I might try a side by side comparison since I'm not convinced it's necessary. I substituted flour and soy sauce with Cassava flour and tamari for my Gluten Free friends. I don't know any GF substitutes for Worcestershire sauce.
In my home we call it "væltet køleskab", which I guess translates into 'tipped refrigerator' as if you had just tipped it over, and some stuff fell onto the pan and was cooked.
I made this exact recipe today. It was excellent!!! My husband said it was almost exactly like what he had in Japan. So it’s something we will be making way more often now! So thank you!
to add to the tempura scrap part, you can compromise by using either a poder tempura and making into a batter OR making your own regular batter with just flour(idk of itll be the same consistency) then you make little droplets onto a pot of hot oil, youre basically frying your own tempura scraps. As for making the little drops, using a fork should help, dip a fork into the batter then let bits of batter drip onto the hot oil.
Obviously you just have to fly to Japan, purchase the ingredients and fly back. Easy peasy. Or you might be able to find them on Amazon, I haven’t checked.
Looks good sir! First time I had it was in Kyoto. The chefs name was "Masta-san", or so we called him. His Okonomiyaki was amazing. He cracked too eggs on the griddle and flipped the pancake onto it. Damn, I want it
Thanks for listing the ingredients with your youtube videos. It makes reference easier when cooking, without having to watch the video all over again. Great videos and recipes btw. Just watched a few of your videos.
Joshua: "You wanna know what else is yummy..?" Pauses for max anticipation Me: Like an over eager puppy, "ERMIGERD, is it B-roll? It's gotta be B-roll, right? PLEASE TELL ME IT'S B-ROLL!!" Rolling around on the floor at this point with my housemates whispering that I'm going to die alone. Joshua: "B-roll." Me: Howls in Foodie.
I like to cook my bacon or pork belly on one side, render out some fat, then cook the pancake in that pork fat. Crispy side gets laid down on the top before flipping, this ensures both sides get cooked and get the crispy texture I like. I also like to add mirin to the batter, I find it browns up a bit better. Just my preference, but give it a try some time.
Don't be afraid, Karen. This dish is very casual (actually a street/festival food) and mix the batter, cook it like a pancake, and put the sauce and the Kewpie mayo on the top. You can omit or add some ingredients (meat, seafood, Chinese noodle, fried eggs, powdered green seaweed (Ao-nori) and so on) as you like.
Hey, Joshua, I'd love to see your take on the traditional Finnish Karelian pies (rice pies) - they're super tasty open crispy pies with delicious rice with egg filling - they're absolutely delicious when done right, yet they're simple, so I'd like to see how you can super-upgrade them with your skills. :)
One thing: traditional okonomiyaki used "aonori" literal translation: blue sea weed. And it's usually pulverised and sprinkled all over (with extra on the table for your pleasure). Anyway, love everything you do especially all the Japanese stuff (I'm half Japanese). Keep doing what you do best :)
So I just made this for the first time. I felt like I gathered all the 7 dragonballs when I finally got all the ingredients together (yes they did cost me a fortune) BUT BOY was that worth it! Its juicy, it's savory, it's sweet, it's an eyecandy - its just fucking amazing. I don't want to eat anything else ever again. My life is changed. Thanks for joining my ted talk.
Nice to find a recipe that doesn't expect me to grate my own yamaimo! Saving this one for its feasibility. Also, it's not good okonomiyaki unless those bonito flakes are dancing!
In Tokyo we were given a large bowl with everything in it, i would suggest its one of those family recipes that everyone has a version of, as i have had them at markets back home and they are all a little different
I tasted this stuff for the first time in Osaka about 3 years ago. Dayum!!! what a tasty dish. I'm currently in Japan for 6 weeks and I'm gonna have to get some while I'm here.
Be carful if you are not a big fish eater with this one. I had to make two at the last minute, one with water and one with dashi, the dashi one was the only one with bonito on top. Made because my sis is allergic to tuna which i had forgotten. I much preferred the water one. I think it might have been down to the bonito flakes rather than the dashi but just beware. Think the flavour of fish pie thats been made with smoked fish, thats the level of fishness with bonito on top. Fairly easy recipe
I used to live in Japan, there was an Okonomiyaki restaurant right across the street from where I lived, and I'm here to tell you, it is AMAZING!!! Anyone who hasn't made/tried Okonomiyaki, What are you doing!? Go out and make it RIGHT NOW!!!
Watching this makes me thankful I was able to go to Okonomimura in Hiroshima and also Ajinoya in Osaka to experience both styles. Not easy to make at home but looked easy at the restaurants. For those wondering this video is Osaka style. I prefer Hiroshima style
Pretty much nailed it! Easy dish to make tho if you don't have a full-on Japanese market close by. Cabbage, egg, flour water - pancake, check! Add a bit of soy sauce (or salt), and ginger. A bit of sweetened Worcester will do it! The fish flakes are da-bomb-dot-com, but u can omit if u don't have. It's a very tasty dish, like the name says "as u like it" . Super tasty and very adaptable to what u have at home.
Okonomiyaki flour helps. Wildly chopped cabbage can help too, helps with texture when cooked. Can sub dashi (if too strong a flavour) for chicken oxo (bullion cubes or any flavoured stock). Cube pork medallion steaks and toss through batter. Add corn it's awesome. Can sub pork belly for bacon or ham. Also for extra body use ground up daikon radish.
Lived in Japan 3 years in a Tokyo middle class suburb and there was an okonomiyaki joint every 5 blocks. Great reasonable priced sit down meal. A few beers always seemed to show up as well.. Hmmmm...
The Agedama 揚げ玉 at 2:10 is also called Tenkasu 天かす by the way. I hope this helps anyone who wants to buy a bag. Also one of my favorite hole in the wall okonomiaki/yakisoba restaurants in Japan that I went to frequently when I lived there had imo-okonomiaki or potato okomoniaki. Instead of thinly sliced pork it had thin planks of potato on the top. The potatoes were always crispy on the top and fluffy on the inside. It was one of my favorite items on the menu.
Hey man I was jus re watching your tonkatsu ramen vid on yt and was wondering if it it’s ok to store the extra broth in the fridge then re heat it and freshly make the tare, noodles etc.. to eat say the next day. Would putting the broth in the fridge ruin its flavor for the next meal or nah? And ofc great vid mate.
i remember finding your vid on this format back then :)) i think it was how to make Horchatas? and damn im back to one of your old vids for recipe :)) srsly on of the best finds i had in TH-cam. you're a gem Joshua. keep up the amazing work and lovely B-Rolls.
you can actually find okonomiyaki restaurants almost anywhere in Japan where there are stores. The way that it works is that you get sat down at a table with a flat iron pan, and you can order pre-chopped fillings.
I saw this video today and happened to have all the ingredients to make this, except the dashi broth (I used a tablespoon of fish sauce instead). And it was so tasty and super easy!!!!! I will be making more tomorrow.
Imagine walking into the kitchen and seeing Joshua talking into a cupboard
She's used to it at this point.
She’s probably walked in on him doing worse than that.
Iconic
@@JoshuaWeissman you have to get used to it if you want great food. Love your videos.

LOVE okonomiyaki! It literally translates into, “what you prefer, fried”
Theodore Stoddard there’s nothing about noodles in the word. Okonomi means preference and yaki means to fry.
Junya Yashiki ok im not actually sure who to believe here
Junya Yashiki doesn’t yaki mean grilled?

This is the Osaka style okonomiyaki, I think I prefer the Hiroshima style, still nice video, Joshua.

“Kitchen Sink” means “Everything BUT the Kitchen Sink”. It’s a hyperbolized way of saying it’s got a lot of ingredients.
I used this recipe and made my Japanese Mommy happy! Thank you!😁
That's great filial piety!
I'm sure your mother was happy when she ate okonomiyaki that made by you💝

This is the god of pancakes must respect

Just an FYI from someone who lived in Japan several years and has a Japanese wife. Okonomi is pronounced like Economy with an O. So Oconomy yaki.

The hardest part for me is finding the ingredients
Obviously you just have to fly to Japan, purchase the ingredients and fly back. Easy peasy. Or you might be able to find them on Amazon, I haven’t checked.
Or live in a major city like New York, where there are Japanese grocery stores.
David Boucard if there’s like 3 asian markets in my bumpkin ass town then they’ll have one
I think I'll just use shrimp or chicken broth instead of dashi and use regular pickled veggies instead of pickled ginger and skip the Bonito.

I saw this video today and happened to have all the ingredients to make this, except the dashi broth (I used a tablespoon of fish sauce instead). And it was so tasty and super easy!!!!! I will be making more tomorrow.
