Oven-baking is the easiest way to cook ‘Okonomiyaki’ for a larger number of servings. Mix plenty of shredded Cabbage with the simple batter, add your favourite ingredients, spread it over a baking tray, and bake it in a hot oven. Today I made Seafood Okonomiyaki. As Seafood can be cooked quickly, I mixed them with …
Some leftover Brussels Sprouts that I bought for Christmas Lunch had been in the fridge for over 2 weeks, and I needed to use them up. Today I made them into Okonomiyaki. Brussels Sprouts look like miniature Cabbages. This Okonomiyaki turned out very similar to the regular Cabbage Okonomiyaki, but it has a stronger Brussels …

On the other day when I made ‘Okonomiyaki’, the famous Japanese savoury pancake, using Red Cabbage. The pancake turned Blue/Green! But WHY?

‘Okonomiyaki’ is a Japanese savoury pancake. Cabbage is commonly mixed with the pancake batter. However, many other Vegetables are suitable. I often add Carrot and Spring Onion.
