Okonomiyaki is to the Japanese what fish and chips are to the New Zealanders – fried goodness. A savory Japanese pancake, the name comes from the word okonomi which means “what you like” or “what you want”, and yaki meaning “grilled” or “cooked”. I like and want these cooked delights so much that I recently took my hand to the Japanese cuisine in order to replicate them. Basically a big battery cake fried in a pan with veggies such as capsicum, carrots and bean shoots, I soon found out the key and most essential ingredient, the sauce. So to go atop my Okonomyaki was a little dark soy creation in one criss-cross direction, and the white Kewpie mayonnaise cross hatched in another. This is what it looked like.

Then I realised, you can put Kewpie mayonnaise on basically anything and it tastes great! Go out and get yourself some now. Everything about this screams eat me, even the packaging.
