    Electric griddle is the easiest way to start. A large pan can do in a pinch, but I needed the space for the spatulas to get under all the ingredients for the flip. The batter can be mixed at home, but I found it MUCH easier to buy pre-mixed. Got mine via Amazon. Other than that…you make it as you like 😉

    Just One Cookbook has a pretty easy okonomiyaki recipe that I make when I have a craving.

    if you haven’t yet monjayaki if you get back to tokyo!~

  4. Osaka style is quite easy and cheap to make. Just be patient to make sure you cook it all the way thru. Master the temp and timing and you’re golden (literally).

    It’s super easy and I’m actually getting ready to make some now! Well… When my vulture let’s me. 😓

    Yes. Hopefully one day you will be able to mix some simple batter, add vegetables, then fry it. It seems almost insurmountable, but with study and hours of practice, I believe you can do it.

    As someone said, the Osaka style okonomiyaki is easy to make. But yours in those photos looks layered? (Maybe my eyes are playing tricks?) If so, it’s most likely the Hiroshima style and a bit tricky. I’d refer to Just One Cookbook either way.

    I just use a big effin pan and okonomiyaki flour I think. It’s
    Pretty ez tbh. Just makes a lot!

    Flipping is the hardest part so what I do is cook the veggies and stuff first. Slide it off. Cook the egg and then flip the egg onto the veggie plate and then slide it all back onto the pan to warm it up.
