Russian Okonomiyaki recipe:

We cut (chop) the cabbage very finely, cut the green onions into rings.

In a bowl, mix flour, egg, salt, water.

Add Kikkoman soy sauce.

Mix the dough well with a whisk so that there are no lumps. The dough should have the consistency of liquid sour cream.

Add cabbage and green onions to the dough and mix.

Let's prepare the filling. It can be very diverse: any vegetables, meat products and seafood. I took pork, mushrooms (champignons), bell peppers and parsley. We cut everything finely.

These ingredients make two “pizzas,” so I divided the filling in half. We take a frying pan with a small diameter, mine is 18 cm. In a frying pan with vegetable oil, fry the meat and vegetables until cooked.

Fill the filling with half the amount of dough. Close the lid and fry over low heat for 15 minutes.

Next, turn it over to the other side. It is convenient to do this by first turning it over onto a plate. Cook over low heat with the lid closed until cooked for 10 minutes.

Serve with special sauce. I have it ready (Japanese). Can be served with cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup, soy sauce. Bon appetit!

This was 10 years ago. A boy, Ken, from Japan came to my nephew Vanya’s family for 2 weeks in the summer. You may remember that back then children went on “exchange” trips to families in different countries. Japanese children came to our families, and then ours went to Japan to visit them.

The most interesting thing is that the boy was only 11 years old, but he refused to eat what his sister cooked, he cooked it himself. It was basically rice, which he made in a rice cooker. They spoke in English. Despite the fact that none of both sides mastered it perfectly.

Among the other dishes that Ken prepared for himself was “okonomiyaki”.

Recently, thanks to the competition, I remembered this when I was looking through the photos. Of course, I had to go online to reproduce the recipe.

Ken also came to visit me and went on a picnic, here is a photo of that trip.
