In regards to cooking wholesome meals for the own families, there is always some level of dissention among the positions. The good news is that there are recipes which are very healthy but the healthy temperament of these recipes is significantly concealed. What they don't know in these instances shouldn't bring harm their way (out allergies, which will never be ignored).

Wholesome cooking is often difficult as many of us do not want to spend time planning and preparing meals our families won't eat. At precisely the same timewe need our families to be healthy so we feel compelled to understand new and improved ways of cooking well balanced meals for our family to love (and unfortunately in a few cases scorn).

There are numerous that will argue that ingesting healthy food costs more than simply cooking the prepackaged foods that pack on the additives and calories. The truth of the matter is that when you compare the costs with the health care bills into the long run for failing to do so, they seem quite slight when compared. Yes, great food costs more money. Oftentimes, that's a very simple fact of everyday life. But by learning portion control and eating the appropriate portions you may find that you are now spending less as you adjust to the proper amounts of food you must be consuming to be able to maintain a balanced and busy way of life.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have Okonomiyaki using 25 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

I had been asking myself this question: is Japan's Okonomiyaki a pizza? I mean, does a pan-fried batter counted as a dough? It definitely has sauce and toppings. But can Kewpie mayo qualifies as a cheese? Pizza is dough, sauce and cheese right? So technically, this is a pizza, right? Lol! I watched too much "Is it really dough" on YouTube. I love this "Japanese pizza". I hardly find any great okonomiyaki in Singapore tho, sadly. There are actually 2 types of okonomiyaki; the Osaka's and the Hiroshima's version. The one which I am making today is the Osaka's version. Hiroshima's version is a lot "heavier" as it contains added noodles and lots of vegetables and other toppings. Perhaps I will try to make that version in the future. It is really difficult to decide which is my favorite; each version has it's own uniqueness. This is rather a simple and easy dish to make, tho, flipping the okonomiyaki really do takes some practice, especially when I am making 8 inch big okonomiyaki. But it all comes together in the end. Cos after all, mesmerizing over how the bonito flakes dance is the price. Don't you agree? Anyway, I was so glad the other day when I spotted chicken bacon in my local supermarket. Chicken bacon does exist! I do not consume pork, so this is intriguing for me. You can however, use a high quality pork bacon. In closing, is this a pizza? I will leave it to you to decide and I really do hope you give this recipe a try.

Instructions to make to make Okonomiyaki

1. 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.
2. Gradually add in dashi while still mixing. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
