Every food blogger with an interest in Japanese food is required by law to have a post on okonomiyaki<\/em>, so today, I\u2019m going to show you how to make my favorite version, which is stuffed with my favorite vegetable, kabocha squash.<\/p>\n

Okonomiyaki<\/em> (henceforth not italicized) is sometimes described as a savory pancake<\/em> or as a Japanese pizza<\/em>. What it actually entails is a batter made mainly of flour, egg, water, and baking powder, which is mixed with finely chopped cabbage and seasonings. To this batter, one adds meat or vegetable \u201ctoppings\u201d (hence the pizza comparison) to one\u2019s liking (hence the name, which could be translated as the \u201cAs You Like It Cooked Item\u201d). This mixture is cooked in a frying pan or on a griddle and topped with okonomi<\/em> sauce, mayonnaise, nori<\/em> (seaweed), and bonito flakes.<\/p>\n
