    Can substitute tamari for soy sauce, plain flour for rice flour, vegetable stock for vegan dashi, Savoy cabbage for green cabbage, mayonnaise for Kewpie mayonnaise, and carrots or Brussels sprouts for cabbage. You may use the Vegan dashi recipe on p. 360.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Absolutely delicious and pretty simple and hands off to prep and cook. This will definitely become a regular recipe for us.

    Excellent! The gochujang ketchup is amazing - try it with fries or tater tots and do NOT skip it here! The recipe calls for covering the pan for most of the cook but I like to give these another flip and cook uncovered to add bit of crispness to both sides.

    Good but messier than I’d hope for. Used green cabbage - make sure this is sliced very thin. She calls for chopped but it crisps up easier if it’s thinly sliced. I skipped the ketchup sauced and instead used Japanese bbq sauce and kimchi mayo. Also used veggie stock instead of dashi. Added an egg.

    Nice version of okonomiyaki; the kimchi added a bit of a different twist. I didn’t make the gochujang ketchup and instead topped with Bulldog sauce, kewpie mayo, bonito and spring onions.

    Made this with green cabbage. We are vegan so used flax eggs. This was good but still looking for a recipe for this that isn’t so heavy on the flour.
