can’t wait to try it for me and my kids
Good recipe by the way. I was looking to recreate a simple fry udon dish I ate regularly in Tokyo. This is it sans the mixed seafood that was included in the Tokyo dish. The okonomiyaki sauce seems to be the missing ingredient.
To calculate calories and nutritional information take the information from the label of each of the ingredients, divide or multiple depending on the serving size on the label and the recipe size, and add them. The total should be divide by the number of servings the recipe supplies.
It is a little work but only needs to be done once.
what can i substitute for okonomi sauce?
Thanks Mai, had this for lunch today at a Japanese Cafe. Can’t wait to make it
