okonomiyaki sauce
Okonomiyaki sauce is a savory condiment commonly used in Japanese cuisine, particularly for the dish okonomiyaki, which is a type of savory pancake. The sauce is thick and rich, made from a blend of ingredients such as soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and sugar. Its unique flavor profile combines sweetness, tanginess, and umami, enhancing the taste of the dishes it accompanies.
Typically, okonomiyaki sauce is drizzled over the cooked pancake and often topped with kewpie mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and seaweed. This sauce not only adds flavor but also contributes to the overall presentation, making the dish visually appealing.
