Okonomiyaki is a pancake-like dish from Japan. Okonomi translates roughly as “what you want” and yaki as “grill”. So, you can put “what you want” in it, but it typically always includes Okonomiyaki Flour
In Japan, they prepare the dish on an iron griddle table, but since I don’t have one on hand (and I don’t think many others do either) it can be prepared in a flat frying pan.
Toppings
Once golden brown on both sides, transfer to plate and add toppings. Typical toppings include tangy Okonomi Sauce, 
Once you have the basics down, the possibilities of this dish are limited only by your imagination. Other meats often used in Okonomiyaki are pork, octopus or squid. Bacon is also a great alternative for the shrimp used in this recipe – just saying!
