Chef's Tips
Don't overcrowd the griddle. Cook the okonomiyaki in batches.
Adjust the amount of water in the batter if it seems too thick or too thin.
For a crispier pancake, press down slightly with a spatula while cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables or proteins to your okonomiyaki, such as bacon, squid, or mochi.
