Default Okonomiyaki

It's shopping time and the fridge and cupboards are pretty bare. I searched around and put together all of the things to make Okonomiyaki. Surprisingly, I had everything but the spring onions, so I made that for breakfast.

If you are not familiar with Okonomiyaki, this is an egg dish that is a beloved favorite in Japan. Basically, it's like an open omelette with pretty much anything that you want to add to it. It's kind of like our pizza, in that the combinations of ingredients are endless. Usually, there is shredded cabbage, a little meat, green onions and sometimes seafood. They cover the whole omelette with a beautiful, brown "Okonomi" sauce and then drizzle it all with "Kewpie" mayonnaise and sprinkle with dried seaweeds and other crunchies. It's served all times of the day.

The most famous recipes come from Osaka, but there is also the Hiroshima style and Tokyo style. I did mine Osaka style with veggies. It was delicious!
