Discover how to make Okonomiyaki savory waffles. Make this popular Japanese street food Okonomiyaki in a waffle iron with my step by step photo instructions.
Combine the water and dashi powder in a jug and add beaten eggs.
Place the all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl and add dashi & egg mixture to combine.
Add chopped cabbage, scallions, cooked bacon bits, and red pickled ginger, and tenkasu to the batter and mix them all together.
Take one heaped ladle of Okonomiyaki batter to one side of an oil sprayed waffle iron. Fill the other side of waffle iron too.
Press the waffle iron together and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes one side and then flip it over and cook the other side for about 2 minutes. If you are using an electric waffle iron you will need to experiment with the cooking time.
Serve Okonomiyaki savory waffles on a plate. Drizzle Okonomiyaki sauce over the waffles garnished with bonito flakes and aonori seaweed flakes.

Notes
*1 If you cannot buy dashi powder, you can make it from scratch. See Dashi Recipe.*2 If you can not buy commercially made Tenkasu, you can omit this ingredient or make it from scratch. See Tempura recipe. *3 Okonomi means "as you like", so I used bacon but you can substitute this with anything you like. You could use ham, thinly sliced pork or beef etc. If you use those ingredients, you don't need to mix them into the batter but instead, top the batter with them before you press the waffle iron. *4 Homemade Okonomiyaki sauce. See Okonomiyaki recipe.
