Recipe View 15 mins Pour 1/4 of the batter onto the preheated griddle, spreading it gently to form a round pancake shape. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Recipe View 2 mins Drizzle the sauce generously over the pancakes. Garnish with panko bread crumbs and a drizzle of mayonnaise, if desired. (2 minutes)

For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and sausage and add more vegetables, such as grated carrots, corn, or edamame.
Kewpie mayonnaise, a Japanese mayonnaise, has a richer flavor than standard mayonnaise and is highly recommended for an authentic taste.
Adjust the amount of water in the batter to achieve a consistency similar to thick pancake batter. It should be pourable but not too runny.
Don't overcrowd the griddle. Cook the okonomiyaki in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings and sauces. Some popular options include bonito flakes, seaweed flakes (nori), and okonomiyaki sauce.
