It is a great cheap meal that contains pretty much everything from all the food groups, so I guess it is quite healthy. It is a family favourite for us and pretty easy to make at home, so hope you give this one a try :)Japan-Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970708785185874284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-53402591568323666222012-04-15T13:31:25.213+09:002012-04-15T13:31:25.213+09:00Hi rObfOs, thanks for the comment.

Sooo full when we finished. Loved it then and has become a firm family favourite at our place. Will try your recipe next time I get the urge to make some savoury pancakey goodness.rObfOshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467965537415271912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-81193356574969355142012-04-14T15:23:11.547+09:002012-04-14T15:23:11.547+09:00Great news Rurousha and very glad to hear it was a...Great news Rurousha and very glad to hear it was a success.

B...I've come to report back. Great success! ^^<br /><br />Before I tried yours, I used a recipe I found in ... wait for it! ... the Australian Women's Weekly Cookbooks Series. It's <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Japanese-Cooking-Australian-Womens-Weekly/dp/1863961879" rel="nofollow">this</a> book, which I recommend to all culinarily challenged people. :D<br /><br />I prefer your recipe, though, because it's so simple and so delicious. It will be made again.

We usually make several with different ingredients, so there is always something for everyone and the kids love them as well.

It is quite simple to make here in Australia. Probably the hardest thing is the special sauce and additional toppings, but most of these can be found at a local Asian Supermarket :)Japan-Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970708785185874284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-88511401142714383512012-04-13T16:49:17.662+09:002012-04-13T16:49:17.662+09:00Thanks Lina, It is a great snack food or main dish...Thanks Lina, It is a great snack food or main dish with a few sides.

Simple to prepare and cook. Great eating with family or friends - eating it straight off the hotplate. And I eat it a lot, especially in winter.

I love the okonomiyaki kits you can by in supermarkets in Japan: makes for a quick easy meal when you get home from work and are too tired to cook a big complicated meal. Okonomiyaki is so simple it would be pretty easy to replicate in most countries outside of Japan. :DAussieOnTheIzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572177200671354787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-63005139291659229412012-04-13T00:13:23.507+09:002012-04-13T00:13:23.507+09:00Okonomiyaki is great snack food!
