Things that Bit Bit found out about making Vegetarian Kansai-Style Okonomiyaki:
- One can add anything that one likes in okonomiyaki, so just choose one's favourite ingredients and it will turn out very yummy.
- While cooking the okonomiyaki, turn heat to low to prevent the bottom of the okonomiyaki from getting burnt and also to cook the insides thoroughly.
- Other than okonomiyaki sauce, one can also use other condiments that one likes, for example, Bit Bit likes it with ketchup, or one can use light soy sauce if one prefers a more savoury flavour.
- Okonomiyaki is a pancake made with mainly cabbage, and is crispy outside and soft in the inside. Bit Bit likes it a lot!
