Hi, Sarah,
I use normal chicken broth such as Knorr chicken broth.
It’s ok with vegetable broth, but not Japanese dashi type of broth.

Hi, Olivia.
In fact some people add appeles in salad in Japan. My mother used to make mayo taste salad with apples, pears or sometimes with Kaki fruit.

You forgot Miyamoto on Victoria, which is an ONLY japanese grocery. It is a little expensive, but there you can find yuzu juice, arame seaweeds, dried maitake and kuzu. They have a lot of prepared seafoods and about 15 types of miso! I bought a nice suribachi there! They have a lot of japanese tools, dishes, nabe, okonomiyaki pans… and they also have a bunch of japanese cooking books in french and english. The owners speak english and french and are always very helpful. Oh they even sell snacks, prepared onigiri, sushi… But yeah, the only thing is that it is a little more expensive, but when you cannot find a japanese product anywhere, try it! The only thing tjey didnt have was okara (soybean pulp?), but they have soooo much.

Hello Kanako,

Could I could a whole mackerel this way? Is it necessary to filet it and cook pieces of it?
Thank you. Your blog is fantastic.
Best,
Dominika

Comment on Okonomiyaki: Osaka-Style Cabbage Pancakes by Kay

Hi Kanako, I was delighted to find your recipe for this dish which was recently cooked for us by a Japanese home stay student visiting us in New Zealand. He didn’t tell us the name of the dish, or leave us the recipe (although fortunately he left us the leftover Okonomiyaki flour and sauce ) but we all loved it and wanted to try it again, so i was great to find your site by Googling Japanese cabbage pancake.

I have 2 questions: what sort of quantity of beni shoga would you add if you were using it? And, our student served us a noodle dish with the Okonomiyaki which used the rest of the pork and a soy dressing and was also delicious – is this a common accompaniment and do you have a recipe for it?

Yum! There is a Japanese restaurant in Minneapolis that has fantastic potato salad in their bento boxes, much like this one, but instead of ham they put chunks of apples. Thank you for the recipe, can’t wait to try it!
