Layered griddle pancake with noodles, cabbage, sauce, and a cut edge.

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki

Japan · East Asia

Short description
This griddled dish stacks ingredients in layers instead of mixing them into one thick batter.
Ingredients
Thin batter layered with cabbage, noodles, pork, egg, sweet-savory sauce, and toppings.
Cultural note
The separate layers make the texture: crisped noodles, tender cabbage, and sweet-savory sauce come together on a hot griddle.
Common misconception
It is not the same structure as mixed-batter versions; the noodles and cabbage are layered.
