Okonomiyaki is a savory Japanese pancake made from a batter of flour, eggs, and shredded cabbage, often mixed with various ingredients like meat, seafood, and vegetables. The name translates to "grilled as you like it," reflecting the customizable nature of the dish. It is typically cooked on a hot griddle and can be topped with sauces, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. There are different regional styles of okonomiyaki, with the most famous being from Hiroshima and Osaka. In Hiroshima, the ingredients are layered rather than mixed, while in Osaka, they are combined into a batter. This dish is popular in Japan and is often enjoyed at specialized restaurants.
