Okonomiyaki is like a ‘"Japanese pizza", made with flour, eggs, shredded cabbage, meat and topped with a variety of condiments.

It is a specialty from Osaka and you can make it with some dinner leftover in the pancake.

It is a tasty treat for lunch or dinner. Kids would love their well-shredded cabbage in this pancake. using the Thermocook.

Though it looks like a lot of steps and ingredients, by using the Thermocook, it is actually a very quick dish. Think of making savoury cabbage pancake-ala-frittata. Go free style with your sauces and filling. 

The Matcha fried onion is an awesome addition we created. A very tasty treat to add the extra crunch to our version of Okonomiyaki!
