okonomiyaki



Summertime is all about vegetables in this house. We love cabbage for it's nutrition, but there is only so much coleslaw tolerance before your mouth is done with all the chewing, don't you think? So when a recipe like okonomiyaki is discovered, there is cause for celebrating, and making, and not wasting the rest of that head of cabbage. It's the perfect lunch to eat on the backporch.
We make a odd little version of it, of course. I skip the bacon/meat part and basically make it with cabbage and green onions or chives with the okonomiyaki sauce on the side and minus the mayo. If you are cringing out there, I understand, but I'm just going to own it this way, it works for us. Okonomi is "to one's liking", after all.
There are authentic lovely recipes out there like this one and, for a really awesome straight forward basic recipe, there is this one if you want to give it a try.
