Okonomiyaki Recipe - Japanese Pizza / Pancake | Asian Recipes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Okonomiyaki, sometimes called Japanese pizza or Japanese pancake, is one of the best dishes to make if you're a beginner japanese cook. It exposes you to a lot of classic Japanese ingredients, but it is very easy to make well and is very flexible in terms of what you put in the okonomiyaki.
This recipe is inspired by my recent trip to Osaka (see link to my Osaka vlog below), and this particular style of okonomiyaki is a dish that Osaka is known for. It's the perfect combination of salty-sweet-umami-creamy...yum!

Hey Pai -- Thanks for being wonderfully goofy. 🙃 I like your honest descriptions and reactions. I've seen many recipes for okonomiyaki but haven't made it yet -- soon.
You should call this series "Hot Pai's Kitchen" 😂
I'm so looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank you for posting it. I'm a fan of your videos. Please keep up the great work.
Love your videos. You present your videos with such joy and love of your food. Thank you
It's absolutely impossible to watch any of your videos and not fall in love with you immediatley 🥰
So an alternative to the fresh grated special yam: Otafuku brand makes a kit that includes the pancake mix, *yam powder packet* , the tempura crisps, and a dried seaweed topping. It actually makes such a delicious treat and the yam powder really and truly makes such a difference! I did notice they sell this on Amazon but it’s so expensive there but you can also purchase just the yam powder under same brand, Otafuku as well.
Apparently, you can get variations of this kit and some don’t come with it and include the sauce and bonito flakes instead- so pay attention to what you are buying.
You can also purchase just the flour mix - just the crunchy tempura bits and just the yam powder. Obviously you can purchase the sauce, the Kewpie mayo and the bonito flakes. For me- it’s worth getting the authentic ingredients first and try it- then see what you wouldn’t mind exchanging in flavour and texture for alternatives.
I adore this so much this kit so much and I can get it in Nashville Tennessee in our larger Asian mart. So it’s probably in most other ones and particularly if you have one that specialty is Japanese foods.
Pailin! Wonderful recipe! Merci merci! 👍👍
This is fun watching you cook this. I might try this once I get the ingredient in place.
This is one of my favorite foods! This made me so hungry! Looks amazing!
My mom would make this for me all the time and never used the yams ahhh! I'm excited to try one of my childhood favorites with your recipe :) I learned something new about my culture thanks to you! Love all your videos!!

Absolutely LOVE this dish kha. Had it in Japan a long tme ago and still remember what it tastes like. Thank you for the recipe kha. I'm trying this one!
Thanks Pailin. It looks amazing and you have made it so simple to replicate. Can't wait to go shopping in my local T&T and get the ingredients !
I am transported back to Takoyaki Gen, a restaurant in Los Angeles run by two sisters from Osaka. I went there at least twice a week for 4 or 5 years. I was destroyed when they sold their place. Thank you for bringing back beautiful, wonderful memories.
I need to get my family organised for holiday to Japan for the FOOD! Yum!
I used to travel to Japan for business, and this was my favorite dish for dinner! It was so good and inexpensive especially in Osaka.
I love mine with kimchi, cheese and some mochi, the chewy texture is really good! It would be really cool to see a Thai style okonomiyaki one day! 😏
Your videos inspire me to visit Asia once I graduate from college. Thank you for another great video!
Looks so yummy. Thanks.
Thank you pai for this recipe.....
I love eating these. I have them for breakfast sometimes. It's full filling.
Yummie! That looks good😍
This looks so tasty! I feel hungry after watching this video ;)
Yummy! I have been cooking Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, it's time to try Osaka style! Thanks Pai!
Thanks for bringing up nagaimo as key to the pancake texture 👍👍👍
Everybody loves okonomiyaki, I totally see why it's referred to as the Japanese pizza. The only thing I dare not make at home is monjayaki, ha! Thank you for this upload and I hope everybody tries this recipe-- a big hit when cooking for kids and their friends too.
hi thank you for making my favourite dish
This is like my favorite channel nowadays istg
Omg when you put that hot fork on your skin. I burst into laughter (sorry 😂) amazing recipe!
Okonomiyaki is one of my favourite street food!
Looks so good! I want to try making it with cabbage, komatsuna, carrots and shredded leeks!
This is similar to Japanese takoyaki! This looks way easier though. Looks so yummy! Way to go, Pai!
omg, this is one of my favorite recipes of yours. have to wait to make it as I have to wait on amazon. my local asian markets didn't have everything.hoping you keep posting. you, helens kitchen and maanchi are my favorites. wish you well.weird that I couldn't find all the ingredients since I live in the asian district in Las Vegas.
Those are all my favorites tooo. But Seonkyoung Longest ua-cam.com/users/SeonkyoungLongest is also another.
Love it😘
This was my “first favorite” Japanese dish. I am interested to see the use of Yama imo, dashi, baking powder and cornstarch, which I did not see done by my friends in Japan (but which I now want to try!), while we did always use egg mixed into the batter right away...ideally, one egg per person being served. (When we were cooking for a group of people on a budget we sometimes used 2 eggs for 6-8 people and just added more water.) Of course, we lived in Niigata prefecture so I’m sure it was a different version. When I make it here in the US, I just make a batter with flour, egg, water, salt and a little garlic powder. Then I start with lots of shredded cabbage and onion (round or green). If I have benishoga, I use that, but otherwise I use sushi ginger or even shredded raw ginger root, which is easy to get here, and better than powdered ginger (which is not the best, but I have used it when I had nothing else). I never had access to the Yama imo, but one of my Japanese friends used to use grated regular potatoes sometimes. She also would use leftover tempura “crumbs” if she had any from actual tempura she had made. We also always added cooked corn; nowadays I sometimes use frozen mixed vegetables, or at least shredded carrots (which add bright color, especially if you don’t have benishoga.) And I have often used cooked chopped bacon for the protein part, just mixed into the batter with the vegetables. When I serve it here, we don’t always have nori seaweed, katsuoboshi, or ground sesame seed, but we offer mayonnaise, ketchup and soy sauce which are among the toppings we had in Japan. Thank you for posting this recipe! I plan to try it your way now!
Okonomiyaki the best food in the world!
I would spice it up with green chili! And also noodles on the side. Woowww you are an amazing cook! I learn so much from you and love the way you explain the how and why of everything you do. Love from the Netherlands! I am going to make this today! Succeeded very delicious only I could not find tenkasu bits so the okonomiyaki was a bit heavy? Or maybe the batter was too thick I don t know.
looks like a pancake version of takoyaki! it looks so good!
Yeah basically! Much easier to make too!
Okonomiyaki and takoyaki are my two favorites! :3
I’ve been obsessed with okonomiyaki since visiting Japan last year. It’s a Japanese food that really needs to be discovered in the rest of the world. I’ve made it a few times but you’ve got some great tips here I need to try! Did you get a chance to try Hiroshima style okonomiyaki? Instead of mixing the ingredients together they layer them and add noodles!!
Hi!! Nice to see U again!! Mmm.. I like your Okonomiyaki recipe!! Taste so delicious and yummy!! Yum!! Yum!! Great job!! See U anytime!!
IKA!!! Squid is wonderful in okonomiyaki. And I've always had them with pork.
Another new subscriber, here. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
a good sub for the Japanese bbq sauce is good ole American bbq sauce mixed with soy sauce -- comes damn close. Great Video - I've only made this a few times myself (and had it here in Japan town).
I buy it at Japanese restaurant ... such a fantastic flavor !
"It's actually fun to work with" !!
Happy cooking w/ Oishii okonomiyaki from Japan
I wanna try this!
There's nothing like pizza at all! :)
Making this for dinner if I can find special ingredients at Asian market!
The Japanese (or Chinese) yam is incredibly versatile and delicious. You can just steam it as your carbo, or cut it into cubes and slow-braise with beef or pork. BTW I think Korean markets have thin-sliced pork belly. Buying a whole pork belly and slicing it is fine too.
Looks yummy, gotta run to grocer now. :)
Dried thunafish on top is great.
Haha, was wondering whether you'll mention the dancing bonito flakes or not ;D watch those delicate fingers Pai, burning them is no fun at all (I do it all the time..meh)!
What's ur blog? Been following ur UA-cam now... Nice and keep it up
Much love from Malaysia
please try making hiroshima-style okonomiyaki next. it is just as good as the osaka version!!
YASSS!
Bacon and fish that classic combo!!!!!
I would love to try making this. I haven't seen you use that skillet before. Is that a granite type skillet?
that white stuff from the yam thingy, reminds me of.......... oh never mind..
johnzon69 lmaooo I see I wasn’t the only one whose mind took a sharp turn left lol
johnzon69 You can substitute it with something that's a similar texture 😂
Nice Video !
I’m japanese, but your okonomiyaki is better than mine !
i remember seeing my aunt used to cut ladies finger into inch pieces and whisk it in a little water and with that the water gets all slimy and then she would strain and add that water to make the pancake mixture and this pancake is used to make Kunafa in Sri Lanka (it's a cuisine found among Moor muslim community)
I use riceflower to bind^^
Don't skip the nagaimo aka Chinese yam, it definitely makes a difference! So creamy and tender!
If I cant find the japanese yam can I substitute with another similar vegetable (yuatia)
I think you could use cleaned and peeled Mexican nopales cactus paddles blended up as a replacement for the Mountain Yam, as the nopales has a very snotty texture and not much flavor.
Would this hold up in the fridge or freezer? It looks really good, but I'm pretty busy and like to cook meal in big batches and freeze them.
put sunny side up eggs on top, n it's perfect...
Did you say in the end with what to replace the yam if we cannot get it? Maybe I missed that bit.
Hi Pai, did you mean 45 seconds on each side? Because 45 minutes seems like a lot! Haha. This looks like a beautiful dish, and the bacon is a great western addition!
AHAHA THANK YOU!!! That's embarrassing LOL, thanks for the clarification
Damn. You'll make anything.
I’ve been afraid to try this because I really don’t like mayonnaise. Can it be made without? Or would it be too salty
I wanted to see you do a pan flip...!
If I'm using bacon, I like to fry one side for a while, get some of that fat to render out and help flavor everything. Flip it over to the uncooked side, then add on the batter, then cook as normal.
And if you don't have tenkasu (tempura crumbles) I use panko bread crumbs.
What Can you substitute the pink ginger with?
Khun Pai, we are in Thailand. Whay ca. We substitute here for the Yam.
Gorgeous
Can you store the batter to cook for another time?
Sadly i can’t do that recipe. I live in a region were japanese store is inexistant 😭 i could improvise 🤔but it would not be the same. Still, i love your vidéo.
Love it I have to try it! I was wondering... who came up with the idea of eating that slimy thing in the first place? either someone with very low gastronomic standards or some truly starving person
Pai, did you know the best takoyaki is in Bloc26th Bangkok? They serve it with baby octopus it’s incomparable
Noted for next trip :)
hi Adam. I think picture style in main camera is changed from softy warmy to too sharp intense one.
*الطـعـام التايـلنـدي وكـذلك الفـيـتنـامي هما الألذ والأشهى؛ على مستوى آسية؛ إحترامي لليابان.*
Where you and I live it IS pretty easy to find pork belly :-)
I dont know what to look for corn starch in Thailand, cus in Thai they only have แป้งข้าวโพด which I’m not sure if it’s corn flour or corn starch. Help please p pai
That is cornstarch ka.
Hey Pai! Did you attend a Russel Peters show last year? I think I saw someone who looks like you in his new netflix special
I was watching babbish and his substitute for the yam is i cup milk and 1 tsp or tbsp baking powder.
Takoyaki next with takoyaki sauce frm scratch plsss...
man, that yam thing is just NASTY!!! :-)
You tried it?
www.justonecookbook.com/sauteed-yam/
What about xantan gum instead of that yam?
Pai, I see ring!! fill us in!!
The yam looks more similar in texture and everything like the Indian colacassia
There is YAM root in Asian food hving equivalent texture as the Japanese root. ( What'sname is this?).
Delishimoto!
T&T chain Supermarkets are the best places and they hire many local or mainland Chinese people.
Can you freeze the leftover batter?
Probably, but without all the filings in it. Batter part only.
Now where are we gonna find these authentic japanese ingredients, please give us their subtitutes 🤷
What's the substitution if you can't get the yam? Did I miss it?
it is in the written recipe
Thanks! So used to just watching videos for info and forgot to read!
