Healthy Okonomiyaki. This delicious Healthy Okonomiyaki is a divine, easy to makle savoury pancake that can be easily adapted to suit your tastesand dietary goals. This recipe is for the Osaka-style version, which can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Okonomiyaki is a japanese savory pancake that is generally made with your choice of 'what you want' that's then cooked and served warm.

I like to think of this okonomiyaki recipe as the Japanese equivalent of latkes, with shredded cabbage instead of grated potato.

Though this makes the dish no less pantry friendly, it does certainly make the prep much easier, as grating potatoes is one of my least favorite kitchen tasks, and most likely to land me in the hospital in need of stitches.

It's delicious, but it's tricky to replicate on a regular stove at home.

Both sauces did well with this recipe.

With stronger flavored veg and the traditional okonomiyaki flour maybe sauces would be more optional.
