Okonomiyaki – Japanese Meat and Vegetable Omelett
Okonomiyaki can be translated as follows: Okonomi means “taste”, “to your liking”, meaning “what you want”. Yaki means “fried” or “grilled”. The vegetables and often meat or fish are mixed into a batter and then fried on a hot griddle (teppan) at the table. It resembles a pancake, but is often called Japanese pizza, although it bears no resemblance to pizza at all. This is probably because leftovers can also be used in it. Okonomiyaki is a specialty in the Kansai region, especially in Osaka and Hiroshima. In Tokyo, there is a similar dish called monjayaki.
The Kansai version is baked on both sides and turned over on the teppan with spatulas and cut into pieces. The pieces are decorated with nori, katsuobushi/bonito, mayonnaise or ginger. Darker vegetables are usually used in Kyōto.
