I made okonomiyaki yesterday and it was great! I added soba noodles since I like Hiroshima style, but otherwise followed your great recipe. Thanks for sharing! Your site is my favorite!!

If you can’t find Okonomiyaki powder, look for Yam powder, as it’s the same thing. I know that Mitsuwa stores sell it, and you can find a lot of it on Amazon.com as well.

Moe – I make my okonomiyaki batter mix with 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp starch & then I add enough dashi stock (instead of water) until the batter is smooth. It’s a tasty alternative to the store bought mix because it still has those extra flavours in it!

I substituted okonomiyaki powder with:
2 cup flour
1 tbsp corn starch
1tsp baking soda
1 1/4 cup of dashi soup stock

Hi there,
I’m currently a teppan yakki chef at this place in Nadi (Fiji) called Daikoku.
I seem to to be very interested in your big varieties of menu you have there. Makes me very hungry just looking at them all, makes me wonder how I can try this on the teppan table…..

It was pretty good. Except i think i had way too much water that the flour keeps flowing out, leaving some ingredients unattached.

You could certainly try it this way, but the Japanese typically purchase the powder. At the root level, okonomiyaki powder is flour with starch to hold the cabbage together, but the store bought material contains a lot of extra flavoring (such as dried bonito and scallop extract) and a bit of sweetener.

I think Okonomiyaki powder is just flour with a tablespoon of corn starch and a teaspoon of baking soda.
