A pinch of chili flake

About 1tsp tahini

Step 2

Finely chop all the fresh ingredients.

Step 3

Combine the dry ingredients and the vegetables.

Never add any liquid in this stage...!

Step 4

Finally pour in soy milk. Mix it roughly.

For this recipe using " soy milk" is the key.

It adds some protein in this dish and make the dough firm and crispy when it's fried.Because soy milk curdles when it's heated .

Step 5

Warm about a table spoon of oil in the frying pan.

Be generous about this oil but you can reduce the oil amount of the other side.

Step 6

Add all the dough if you would like one big okonomiyaki.

Fry it for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat until one side is golden.

(with out lid )

Step 7

Don't flip it yet. Transfer the pancake to a dish.

Drizzle some oil on the frying pan.(about 5 to 10g)

Step 8

Fry the other side for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

After frying the 2nd side of the pancake for 3-4 minutes.

Flip it to check both sides are golden.

Step 10

If you want to drizzle a small amount of roasted sesame oil.

You could.

Step 11

Serve it on a dish with the crispy side up.

Brush about 1tbsp of sauce.

Garnish it with chopped herbs, chili flake and tahini sauce.
