Instructions to make Okonomiyaki:
- Prepare batter.
In a large bowl, add flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Mix until well combined.
Add in yam and incorporated well.
The mixture should comes together like a dough.

Mix until well combine making sure no large lumps.
You can pass the batter thru' a fine sieve.
Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
- While waiting for the batter to set, prepare the sauce.
In a small bowl, combine everything together.
Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
After 1 hr, prep the batter.
- Add in tenkasu, ginger and eggs.
If you can't find tenkasu, you can simply just deep fried up some batter. Tenkasu is just tempura scraps or leftover.
Mix until well combined.
Lastly fold in the cabbage and Shichimi Togarashi until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the okonomiyaki.
In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle some oil.
Once the oil is heated up, add in the batter.
I am making 8 inch okonomiyaki in which the batter will fill up my skillet.
- You can make smaller ones by dividing the batter into 4 equal portions.
Gently shape the batter into a round disc.
Add strips of bacon on top of the batter.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5 mins.
Once bottom is lightly charred, confidently flip the batter.
It is okay if it is messy. Use a spatula to coax into a round disc again.
Cover and cook for another 5 mins.
- Once bottom is lightly charred, flip onto serving plate.
Brush the sauce onto the okonomiyaki.
Sprinkle nori flakes over the top.
I dislike my okonomiyaki with lots of mayo, so I just dollops them over the top.
- If you prefer, you can squeeze mayo all over the top in a zig-zag motion.
Lastly, sprinkle some bonito flakes and scallions over the top.
Repeat the steps for the remaining okonomiyaki.
Serve immediately and enjoy how the bonito flakes dance.
