[Tips]
👉If you don't have a grater, cut the yam into small pieces and put it into a plastic bag. Smash the bag using a rolling pin, until the yam becomes a paste. (Be careful not to rip the bag.) This technique also protects your fingers from being cut by the grater.
👉Mixing the cabbage and batter in advance will make the okonomiyaki soggy. We recommend mixing just before baking. Mix one serving at a time for the best results.
👉 Mix the dough swiftly, folding from the bottom. Over mixing the batter will cause it to become sticky and lose its fluffy texture.
