About:

It is a savoury Japanese style pancake made from batter and shredded cabbage and other vegetables. Okonomi infact translates to ‘as you like’ or ‘what you want’ so the pancakes can be customised.

As per traditional Japnese Okonomi once done they are topped with Mayonese or okonomiyaki sauce. Here have used a sauce using Rice Vinegar and Soy sauce.
