Alright folks, here is the Okonomiyakidon recipe! You will need: Korean cabbage, chicken thigh(or any other protein-bacon is v good), okonomi sauce, kewpie mayo, green onion(sliced), nori flakes, toasted sesame seeds, bonito flakes, tempura flakes, pickled ginger, Japanese short grain rice, soft eggs-we do ours with an immersion circulator for an hour at 144 degrees F but if you donโt have one โjust one cookbookโ has a great stovetop recipe for โonsen tamagoโ which will yield similar results. For the rice use a 1:1 ratio(by volume). Highly recommend using a rice cooker. Nori flakes: I use a coffee grinder for this but you can also buy nori strips and garnish with those instead to save a step. Tempura flakes: these are optional and a bit finicky to make but are nice for a little crunch-the recipe we use is equal parts glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch and rice flour mixed with water and a pinch of salt until all flours are dissolved and the batter is just thin enough to drizzle. I use a wok and fine sieve to deep fry these, youโll have to turn the heat on and off to regulate the oil temp(which should be around 350-375), using a spoon drizzle dots of batter into the oil, when they stop bubbling they are done, scoop them up with a sieve onto paper towel. For the chicken: cut into bite size pieces and season however you like-we do salt, soy, white pepper, cook in a pan. For the cabbage: cut into bite size pieces, for best results use a wok on very high heat with corn oil-once wok is super hot put the oil in and when it starts to smoke put the cabbage in and stir the bottom immediately, season with salt and cook until cabbage begins to soften, this should only take about 2-3 minutes. Assembly: fill a large bowl halfway with rice, add the chicken and cabbage and crack the soft egg in the middle. Follow with okonomi sauce and kewpie, green onions, nori, sesame, bonito flakes and ginger.
