Okonomiyaki Hiroshima fu

Okonomiyaki Hiroshima fu

(‘pancake’ with Hiroshima regional toppings)

DESCRIPTION

cooks the food together. Okonomiyaki is a universally loved Japanese family dish, with every region having its own speciality. We have chosen two recipes, this one being a regional variation from Hiroshima, and the other a standard version (see Recipe ME11).

Ideally, you should cook this dish on a table top grill.
