Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き)
1.
For making Okonomiyaki, if you don’t have Okonomiyaki flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead!
2.
Cut the cabbage into shreds first, not very thin, just like the thick potato shreds accidentally cut! Take a small piece of yam and grind it into mud for later use (when the yam is peeled, grab it with your hands, it will definitely be itchy after a while, so after peeling and grinding the mud, wash your hands with hot water at the fastest speed, and it will not be itchy. Yes, it must be washed clean, but disposable gloves are also fine!)! I bought the sliced meat directly in the supermarket, it is very thin!
3.
Put a little water in a large bowl first, then add the egg yolk! Note: The amount of water depends on the amount of vegetables you put in the back. If only one or two people eat, then half a cup of water, not too much water, put medicine mud in the back, and a little water, so put too much. After adding more flour, the original amount of dishes will be too small, and the okonomiyaki made in this way will become full of Chinese noodle flavor! Talk of experience!
4.
Then add the Okonomiyaki flour, stirring slowly, so as not to let the flour and eggs rise!
5.
After adding the yam puree, stir it evenly. This is the first time to make it, so the ratio of water and noodles is not good. The batter I made is too watery, and then I added flour, but the yam puree became thinner as soon as it was added. , The batter needs to be made out and it is almost dry than mine! This is very important and directly determines the taste of Okonomiyaki!
6.
After the batter is successful, add all the dishes prepared before! Okonomiyaki is called お好み焼き and 好み means preference, so as long as you like it, you can put it in. Of course, cabbage and ginger must be put, so that it is close to the local taste of Japan! The ginger flavour is a bit sweet, which is what we would eat in curry shops and Japanese restaurants!
7.
Stir the added dishes gently. There is no salt in it, because the okonomiyaki sauce will be coated at the end, so the salt will become salty! And the dishes will produce water if salt is added!
8.
Heat the pan first, then add a little oil, I like more oil, so I put a little more! Then switch to a small fire!
9.
At this time, pour the prepared dish into the pot, flatten it, and make it into an Okonomiyaki appearance. Fry for three to five minutes on medium and low heat. Do not turn over during this process. Pay attention to the heat (the specific time depends on the size of your pot) !
10.
At this time, the pot is a little fragrant, so put the meat slices directly on it!
11.
Then turn it over and fry for three to five minutes over medium and low heat! Look, the noodles underneath have been fried browned, and the next thing is the noodle project!
12.
The process of putting the sauce can be carried out in the pot, so there is a kind of flavor made on the iron plate! First spread the okonomiyaki sauce evenly! If you don't have Okonomiyaki sauce, use pork chop sauce and ketchup, and mix it at a ratio of 1:1. The taste is similar to that of Okonomiyaki sauce!
13.
Followed by mayonnaise, draw your favorite patterns according to your own preferences!
14.
Sprinkle the green seaweed powder evenly. If you don't have it, you can use seaweed shreds. If you don't have seaweed shreds, just cut the seaweed slices into shreds. The effect is the same!
15.
Finally, evenly sprinkle the dancing bonito flakes and serve it on the plate!
Tips:
This dish is very simple, as long as you grasp the proportion of the batter, you can get started! Yam is also very important here. Adding yam mud will make the taste softer and more delicious!
