Okonomiyaki recipe just like in Hiroshima

The first time I ate an okonomiyaki was in Hiroshima. The second time I ate an okonomiyaki, it was at my brother’s in Montpellier and the third time I ate an okonomiyaki, it was at my house.

My family is a huge fan of Japanese cuisine, and although I knew it was very varied. I did not know how much and I discovered my own eyes during my trip to Japanese country. There was nothing more French to me than an omelet. It was long before we tasted this delicious Japanese omelet.

Okonomiyaki is called an omelet, but wouldn’t it be more of a pancake? My Breton side (50%) would tell me yes, a mixture of egg, flour and water looks a lot more like a pancake batter than an omelet.

This famous Japanese pancake batter recipe, I learned how to make it thanks to a Japanese friend to my brother, a talented cook who introduced me to these little wonders.

I then redid and rediscovered the recipe until I got more or less what I ate the first time and I am sharing it with you today so that you can discover or rediscover this wonder of Japanese cuisine. .
