1 1/4 cups water

2 tsp Japanese mayonnaise, such as Kewpie Preparation Mix okonomiyaki powder with water in a bowl until smooth Mix in egg, cabbage, mochi and cheese in a bowl Heat oil in large frying pan then pour in the batter (like a big pancake), but leave some room around the edge to grill the beef (see picture). Add beef around the edge and cook cake and meat for 3 minutes Put the beef on top of the cake, flip the cake, and cook for another 3 minutes. Spread on okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise, then sprinkle on some bonito (if desired) Modifications If you don’t have okonomiyaki sauce you can use oyster sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and mayonnaise, 1 tsp each You may substitute beef with shrimp, pork, or squid JapanFoodAddict.com: Beef
