Hi everyone. Today's dish is Okonomiyaki, also known as a Japanese savory
pancake. Okonomiyaki originates from Osaka and is one of the most beloved soul foods in the region. Since I was born in a city next to Osaka, I grew up eating lots of Okonomiyaki. So today, I'm proudly introducing an authentic okonomiyaki recipe. I'll leave all the ingredients below. I hope you'll like it! Have fun cooking Japanese food😊
Also, please follow me on X.

Ingredients ( Portion for 2)
Okonomiyaki Batter ingredients
* Cake Flour (100g) (You can substitute it with all-purpose flour.)
* Baking Powder (1tsp)
* Water (150ml)
* Instant Dashi (1tsp)
* Soy Sauce (1tsp)
* Salt ( 2 pinches)
* Eggs (2 Large)
* Tempura Bits (10g)
Note: I forgot to mention in the video that the baking powder helps to make the Okonomiyaki fluffy and creates a nice crispy crust. Also, some people prefer to add grated mountain yam to the batter to make Okonomiyaki fluffy, but I assumed it's hard for many of you to get it. So, I didn't include it in today's recipe. If you want to add it, add only 20 grams of grated mountain yam to the batter. If you add too much of it, the gooey texture of the mountain yam will remain inside even after it is cooked. But, the baking powder takes over mountain yam's job perfectly, so you don't need it.
And if possible, please try to use Tempura bits that contain shrimp or squid.
Those tempura bits enhance the flavor of your Okonomiyaki big time.
Ingredients that go inside Okonomiyaki
* Cabbage (300g)
* Green Onions (2pcs)
* Pork Belly Slices (180g) ( fine to use Bacon, but it's not authentic.)
Toppings for Okonomiyaki
* Katsuobushi ( Dried Bonito Flakes)
* Aonori ( Dried Green Seaweed Flakes)
* Beni Shoga ( Red Pickled Ginger)
An Alternative to Japanese mayonnaise
* Non-Japanese Mayonnaise (150ml)
* Soy Sauce (1Tbsp)
* Sake (1tsp)
An Alternative to Okonomiyaki Sauce
* Ketchup (2Tbsp)
* Worcestershire Sauce (2Tbsp)
* Soy Sauce (1tsp)
* Honey (2tsp)
As a Japanese who is picky about Okonomiyaki, I can tell that this recipe is the best on TH-cam!!
Thank you very much for the compliment, Junko san. You are always so kind.😊🙏
I cant stress enough how much I like your videos, Kunihiro-san! You give in depth informations in a light way also explaining the importance of each step and why youre doing it. This way, Im sure my dish is respecting the tradition and the intended flavor the dish must have! Thank you so much for sharing your love for cooking with us!
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. Your kind words encourage me to continue making new content with lots of details. 😊🙏
Another winner, Kunihiro! The only thing better than your recipe is your capability as an educator. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you think so. I just share the thoughts I learned from my mistakes.😅
Excellent recipe thanks for sharing your details steps by step’s Cooking technique, from 🇨🇦 😊
Thank you so much for watching my new video. Please enjoy Okonomiyaki.😋
I just made this recipe for dinner tonight as it’s been years since I had an okonomiyaki and it was absolutely delectable!
I appreciate the substitution instructions. Will try.
Please do. Especially Okonomiyaki sauce is delicious. Maybe it's tastier than Otafuku sauce.😋
Thank you for watching!
thank you very much for explaining details . I tried it once bak in the day, but it was not really good. Now I see, what to improve ))
Thank you for watching. I hope your Okonomiyaki will turn out delicious. The ratio of batter to cabbage is the most important part.😊
Another fantastic recipe from the best Japanese cook on TH-cam! I love these recipes and have learned so much from them. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your support! I hope you'll give this recipe a try.😋
Looks great Kunihiro-san - thank you for the precise details of ingredients and clear steps too! I shall try this on the weekend!
Please enjoy authentic Okonomiyaki. I hope your Okonomiyaki will turn out delicious. 😊
Thank you so much for your support always.
Nice 👍 😃. Thanks 😃
Thank you so much for watching my new video. 😊
Verry good👍😋
Thank you so much for watching my new video. 😊
Thank you for sharing your technique and recipe. I've always wanted to try this.
This is a very authentic okonomiyaki recipe. If you enjoy this recipe, you can try with different ingredients, such as shrimps and squid next time. Please enjoy~.😊
I like that silver plaque and the "sushi with Kunihiro" logo. great recipe and demonstration! thank you, Mr. Kunihiro!
Thank you so much for your support! I finally got it. 😊
awesome thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for watching my new video right away! I appreciate your support.😊🙏
Ah, the fabled Japanese pizza/pancake! I've attempted to make this a couple of times (around 15 years ago), but I only had pictures to follow and had to substitute a lot of ingredients.
I am so delighted to see this video from you, Kunihiro! As always, good work and thank you for sharing it and how to do it, with the world! Stay safe and keep on being awesome!
Okonomiyaki is a simple yet beloved dish in my region, the Kansai region. While many Okonomiyaki restaurants now serve fancier versions, we still cherish the simplicity and authenticity of the homemade recipe. In my experience, the key to a delicious Okonomiyaki lies in the careful combination of cabbage and batter, as well as getting the ratio just right. By keeping these things in mind, you're sure to create a tasty Okonomiyaki. Fortunately, all the essential ingredients are available in the US, so please give this recipe a try. 😊
I'm always happy to hear from you. Thank you so much for your support. Stay safe and healthy. ☺️
@@sushibykunihiro7534 Thank you for the reply, Kunihiro! I'll definitely try making it again with your helpful video!
I was able to track down the ingredients, as you mentioned. It helped a lot that an Asian grocery store opened up half a year ago in my area, so getting a lot of ingredients are much easier now.
I've always been fascinated with this dish since I saw images of it when I was a kid, so it will be fun to try a successful version of it.
I hope you and your family will stay safe and healthy, as well! おおきに！w
I'll do it, for sure
I hope you'll enjoy the dish. Thank you so much for watching!😊
I love it.....'Oishiisou.💖💖💖

very tasty and simple to make. I added shredded carrots to mine for more veggies and omitted bacon for a delicious vegetarian treat. This is now on our family's meal rotation. Thank you for sharing!
So happy to hear your family enjoyed the dish. I've never tried vegetarian version. I'll definitely try that.😋 Thank you so much for letting me know.
I like the camera angle, it makes it easier for the person making it to understand the cooking process. Now I know how to make this in a way that makes sense to me.
I'm so glad you found my video easy to understand. Have fun cooking Okonomiyaki, and I hope it'll turn out delicious. Thank you so much for watching.😊

if he is my cooking teacher, definitely i will become the best cooker in my family🥰honestly your videos are awesome👍👍👏👏
Thank you for the compliment. Let's improve together. I still have a lot to learn.😊
Thank you! Looks delicious and I will make it. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Being third Japanese Canadian I never grew up with okonomiyaki but have always wanted to try it. Really enjoy subscribing to your channel
Third generation Japanese people in Canada don't eat Japanese food much? I've met only until second generations. I'm so curious..☺️
Marvellous , thank you for sharing your recipe , its delicious 😋
Glad you liked it. Thank you so much for watching!😊
@@sushibykunihiro7534 you're welcome. Good night
Hi Chef Kunihiro, thank you for teaching us how to make this! Is there a difference between Okonomiaki sauce and Takoyaki sauce?
They are definitely similar. Only differences are takoyaki sauce is a little sweeter and thicker. I sometimes use takoyaki sauce for my okonomiyaki. It’s still delicious. So you can use them interchangeably. Thank you for the comment.😁
That looks so nice. I will surely try it. Thank you.
I hope you'll enjoy~.😋 Thank you so much for watching my new video.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching too.😊
It’s absolutely delicious 🎉 wonderful meal again❤I and Charmander are proud of you 👏
Thank you 😋 I'll cook it again soon for you two.
I like to use Napa cabbage for this recipe. I am fortunate to have a good Asian market that sells miniature Napa cabbages at certain times of the year. One is the perfect size for this recipe.
I know this is not traditional, but I prefer to use non-sliced pork belly, cut into tiny cubes, and cooked until crispy ahead of time, which I then mix into the batter. It adds a nice texture and makes the fritter easier to cut than with the strips of meat.
it's fantastic! love the clear instructions, all ingredients came from Amazon, same brands you are using. awesome!
Who wouldn't want to eat this? 13:10 So attractive!
Thank you for telling us the sauce substitutions. Very useful info.
Really love your clear instructions and cooking tips!
Thank you so much for your compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.😊
Let's go Kunihiro! 1M subs!

I've wanted to try making this for a long time but always found it overwhelming. You break it down very well, thank you!
I hope your Okonomiyaki will turn out delicious. You won't fail after watching this video.😊
Please enjoy.
I tried Okonomiyaki once when I visited Japan and it was amazing. So I decided to try and make one but it took me a while to gathered the necessary ingredients. Especially the onkono sauce and Japanese mayonnaise but fortunately I found a store that sells Japanese products. The results was amazing for my first time your video was so helpful thank you.
I'm so happy to hear that You succeeded. Thank you so much for letting me know. Have a wonderful day.😊
Mr. Kunihiro, I so love your simple instructions and your soothing voice. Will try the dishes that I have seen and I am excited to cook them for my husband.❤😊
Thank you so much for your compliment. Your kind words encourage me to continue making new content. I hope you and your husband will enjoy the dish.😊
One of the best okonomiyaki receipes I have seen and tried so far.
I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you so much for your compliment.😊🙏
i want to go to japan plus okonomiyaki is my favourite japanese food
Then, you definitely must visit Osaka. 😋
Thank you so much!!!! I’ve always wanted to try eating Okonomiyaki but I’d have to drive an hour to San Francisco 😅
Your directions were so easy and I totally nailed the second one ❤
You’re so helpful 🎉

Great recipe, I’m in Australia but have traveled in Japan, thank you. I have subscribed

I grew up in Kansai Japan, my mom used to make Okonomiyaki every week!! Just watching this video brought me so many memories.... made me homesick!! I definitely make it soon. Thank you!!!
This is the Okonomiyaki I grew up eating every week. I hope you'll like it. Actually, the alternative to the Okonomiyaki sauce is much tastier than a store bought. Please give it a try.😊
Looks absolutely amazing. I am crazy for okonomiyaki!!
I cooked it yesterday, and it was delicious. I proudly recommend this dish. Please give it a try.😊
Okonomiyaki es mi comida favorita!
I'm so glad! Please give this easy and delicious recipe a try.😋
Great recipe and explanation. Thank you for including how to make sauce substitute. I live in a small town and have limited resources to Asian food products. Hello from Corvallis US.
I just google searched Corvallis US. I drove pass your city when I went to Oregon coast. Your city has many big supermarkets that carry asian products. 😊 Thank you for watching.
Look's so yummy!.
I tried this recipe and this is very delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
Great to hear! Thank you so much for letting me know. 😊🙏
Bonjour de France Chef ! Merci pour le partage j'adore l'okonomiaki avec une préférence pour la version Hiroshima ❤
I visited Hiroshima last year and tried real Hiroshima version for the first time. It was delicious. 😋
Thank you so much 🙏 💓
Thank you very much for watching my new video.😊🙏
Thank you Kunihiro-san! I will definitely try this recipe this weekend 😋
Hope you like it! Thank you so much for watching.😊
I’m new to your channel. Was sooooo excited when I found this recipe. I had it many times when I visited Sendai. It is a wonderful dish!!!!❤
I'm so glad you found me. My wife is from Sendai, so I visited there several times. I didn't know Sendai has a good Okonomiyaki place. But, I didn't know Sendai has a good Okonomiyaki place. I'll look for one next time I'm there.😊
@@sushibykunihiro7534
Sendai is the sister city to my hometown in California. I was there (in the early 90’s) during the Tanabata festival. I was in the parade that carried the shrine. Loved all of it!!! So many have no idea just how magical and beautiful Japan is. I can’t wait to come
Back.
Good video
Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching.😊
Omg. Love this video. Thank you. I will try to make it soon.

３回も作ってくれたんですか！？ それは嬉しい。喜んでもらえて良かったです。☺️
Great recipe !
Thank you very much. I hope you'll give it a try.😊
I have ! It’s amazing.
When I lived in Kyoto, okonomiyaki quickly became one of my favorite foods. I had never had katsuobushi as a topping before that, but it absolutely makes this dish. Along with the mayo and sauce, it's the perfect combination for savory comfort food.
Yes, you are absolutely right. 😋
Thank you so much for watching my new video.😊🙏
Thank you for a cery well done video!
Wow ❤
Thank you so much for watching! 😊🙏
Visiting my Asian grocery store soon!
I hope you can find all the ingredients there. Thank you for watching. Good luck. 👍
I don’t know where to get the tempura bits near me so I get calbee shrimp chips and cut them into small pieces to add to the batter.
Wow thank you very much for sharing, this is one of my favourites too,
just wondering if you know the protein content of that flour as it just may be called something else in another country. Also what brand dashi powder do you use..
I will definitely give this a try very soon.
Cake flour in Japan and the US contains about 7-9% protein. And all purpose flour contains
10-12% protein. Cake flour is plain wheat flour with finer particles and less protein content compared to all purpose flour. And for Dashi powder, I usually use Hondashi Instant Dashi.
I hope it'll help. Thank you so much for watching.😊
How about a recipe for hijiki? If that is too short for a video, another one or two sides. 😊
Your tip about mixing one portion at a time makes all the difference!
I mixed in the pickled ginger and shrimp, I do not eat pork.
I'm glad my tip helped. So happy to hear it turned out well.
Your version of Okonomiyaki sounds so delicious. I must try.😋
@@sushibykunihiro7534 I put shrimp in for the protein, fine without. Your okonomi sauce recipe is so much better than the bottled. I always make my own mayonnaise and did what you said to make it Japanese - saki and soy sauce.
I've had this in Hiroshima, their style! So now I'm going to make your original version tonight. I'm going to have to guess how the tempura bits are made, but that should be straight forward🥴, I hope! I'll let you know how I get on.
Well I did it, and it turned out vey well. Not having Kewpie mayo', I followed your instruction, I have to say this was the least successful part, as it was too runny and not very rich. Maybe adding an extra egg yolk could help it in future? I particularly liked your suggestion of mixing most ingredients in a bowl beforehand. All I have to do now is practice the 'flipping-over' -a required art!
Thank you for watching the video. 😊 Flipping over part will be so much easier with a bigger turner.
Hi.. can u teach me more .. I am having a small japanese eatery place here to philippines.. yurushiku kudasai.
I’m a new subscriber to your channel and was amaze how delicious and easy to make your recipes. However in this recipe you use pork. I do not eat pork. Can I substitute other meat instead?
Yes, you can. But please make sure to slice it thinly otherwise the meat won't cook thoroughly.
And, I recommend using relatively fatty part of meat. Fattier meat makes Okonomiyaki tastier.
Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. 😊
@@sushibykunihiro7534 thank you very much
My 31 yo son is gluten free. I use all purpose 1:1 GF flour, and rice crispies for the crunch
Rice crispies is a good idea. I never thought about them. I must try next time. 😁
Do you add shrimp, eel or octopus into the batter? Long time since I was in Japan and there are two styles. I was told, pancakes how you like. Any other items to add? Hiroshima style or Osaka?
If you include those in the batter, your Okonomiyaki won't set properly. So, if you want to add, I suggest adding them on top of your Okonomiyaki. 😊
Do you have or do u work in a restaurant in SoCal by any chance? I would love to go eat!
I used to run a Japanese restaurant named Sushi By H in West Los Angeles. I closed it and retired back in 2019.
@@sushibykunihiro7534 ohhh wow... what a waste.... we would all enjoy your food... what a pity.
Takoyaki and ramen, please
Yes, I will definitely. Thank you so much for your suggestions.😊🙏
is the addition of nagaimo regional or optional?
Actually people started to add nagaimo in recent years. Okonomiyaki is still enjoyed without Nagaimo in Japan. I love nagaimo itself, but I'm not a big fan of nagaimo in Okonomiyaki since the inside remains a little soggy.
It would be nice if you made more videos. More frequently
I'll try to make videos more frequently. Thank you so much for watching my new video..😊
@@sushibykunihiro7534 You’re really nice to watch. I truly enjoy them
Do Japanese ppl ever mix up the pancake ingredients? Like adding bits of meat, green onion, etc? I bought the katsuoboshi grinder and a couple expensive extremely hard fish, so far I stink at grinding it..I just make “fish dust,” but the miso soup I made with the dashi I made from it was the best tasting I ever made..

We don't have the sauce here in Tampa. Please, pretty please make a sauce recipe.
I mentioned alternatives to Okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise. Also please check the description below the video.😊
angie definitely click on the description found top right it's called a couple things like the three dot menu or the meatballs menu n well this is a cooking show sooo I thought the meatball menu was cute but nonetheless now you know what it is n where to find it.... I'm hungry again so I'll heat-up my homemade frozen dumpling-guys n the crunchy chili oil umami-bomb dipping sauce, recipes are great but tasting n creating a sauce you can't live without is priceless!!... (well for me n other's of us....)
After seeing your recipe, I feel like eating food. Don't forget to put on the khal!
Can i use beef here?
Yes, you can. Beef makes delicious okonomiyaki too.😊
Your recipes are always top notch. Put it on the khal, please!
Have you ever been told you sound similar to the voice actor of Francis from Cooking with the Dog?
Yes. So many times.🤣 But, I'm not him.
@@sushibykunihiro7534 now I know for sure! Thank you, I love watching your videos!
I’d love to make this but just leave pork out or substitute it. I’ll literally eat ANYTHING but pork lol
That's fine. Beef and chicken also make tasty Okonomiyaki.😊
@@sushibykunihiro7534 nice! I didn’t want to make it and leave something major out lol
Nice
This looks delicious. I imagine that, like most pancakes around the world, there are many variations on extra or different add-ins. What varieties do you like? I would imagine a seafood version is delicious, too.
I also enjoy adding seafood such as Shrimp and Squid to Okonomiyaki along with pork belly. But my No 1favorite is the straightforward Cabbage and Pork belly combination. 😋
Great presentation .Thank you. Shitaki mushrooms and Lions Mane instead of Pork for me

Viewing from Trinidad in the Caribbean ... This is my first time watching your show, but I must say, it's the best I have seen so far, and I have been searching for recipes like what u and showing.
