We have been wanting to tell you about okonomiyaki<\/strong> for a long time, one of the dishes we like the most in all of Asia, AND originating in Japan<\/strong>. What’s more, it is in the top 10 and shares a place with others such as khao soi<\/em> or som tam<\/em>, two Thai dishes<\/strong><\/a>, and malai kofta<\/em> or baingan bharta<\/em>, from Indian cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But okonomiyaki has something that makes it very special and draws us impulsively to the restaurants where it is served. The way it is prepared may have something to do with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say it is like an omelette, a pancake or a Japanese pizza, because like these, okonomiyaki is a dish to which the diner can add ingredients of his or her choice to a base.<\/p>\n\n\n

Going by etymology, okonomi<\/em> means \u201cto taste\u201d and yaki<\/em>, as you may know from other Japanese dishes, \u201cgrilled\u201d. So obviously it is a dish grilled to the individual\u2019s taste and also in front of the customer (or by him\/her if he\/she knows how to do it) and with an endless amount of ingredients to choose from\u2026 delicious, delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
