yakiniku night featuring okonomiyaki

ok so we had a fun fun drinking + eating + jamming night

as butch promised last summer, (almost a year ago) that he's gonna make us okonomiyaki (japanese vege omelette), i personally had never tried that but we both were in love with takoyaki (fried balls of octopus n dough) when we first tried it at the takoyaki stall somewhere near Narita train station in Japan.

ok first, the main charactor that night was suppose to be yakiniku (japanese hot plate), the ingredients are very basic:-

extremely thin sliced beef n pork which i got from the japanese grocery, then u can cut ur favourite vege (in slices), potatoes, onions, eggplants, mushrooms, and cabbages. of coz u need a hot plate as well.

then served with sticky rice and sprinkle some of those dried fish and seaweed

but the important thing is the sauce, use two medium apples, 1/3 of large onion, 6 cloves of garlic and shredded them with a shredder.
the add two table spoon of sesame oil, 10 table spoon of soy sauce and 3 teaspoon of sugar.
lastly, sprinkle some green onion n mix everything up.( I personally like to add some water coz it was too salty)

1).he basiclly swirl the flour onto the hot plate,
2) then add cabbage, bean sprout, green onion n bacon (by layers)
3)this is the challenging part, to flip them upside down, mean while, he has noodle frying at the side
4)another challenging part, to transfer those stack of vege ontop of the noodle
5)beat two eggs onto the plate n then transfer the whole thing onto the egg.
6) sprinkle some dried tuna fish n seaweed on top n serve with okonomiyaki sauce

this is shori style, she basiclly mix the cabbage, bean sprout, bacon n green onion together with the flour n do it like pancake.
another similar step is put two eggs at the base. I personally prefer shori style, coz it tasted similar to takoyaki.
