Whenever I hear a food has cabbage in it, I tend to think I won’t like it. Although that isn’t always the case, there is something about the idea of cabbage that usually makes me turn up my nose. So trying okonomiyaki was quite the leap outside my comfort zone. However, I’m glad I tried it because it is quite good. Okonomiayki also brought us back to our original idea for the blog: writing about food from other countries.
Okonomiyaki is a savory Japanese cabbage pancake. It is fairly versatile in the fact that you can add many different vegetables to the mixture, which makes it a neat way to sample different fresh vegetables. As the primary ingredient is cabbage, the cabbage flavor is pretty predominant without being overpowering, and is actually very nice. This recipe also basically makes one giant pancake, and you then cut it up and serve it.

Let us see how this is made!
