These savory Japanese pancakes, okonomiyaki, are my newest obsession...and SO easy to make! We're blessed to live in an area with multiple Asian grocers, so I was able to make these without Americanized subsitutions which was awesome, from the okonomiyaki flour (a combination of wheat and soy flour) and dashi (kelp broth) to the Kewpie mayo and Okonomi sauce on top. Our local co-op sells bonito flakes, which are the coolest things ever (watching them as you top a warm pancake with them? trippy) and add that now-overused term umami to so many dishes, and our ducks even helped out with their eggs!
Special thanks to the Pickled Plum blog for the delicious and easy-to-follow recipe....
