This was delicious! I need to make sure I have barley on hand now just to be able to make this dish. I'm not really a raisin-in-things person, so I didn't use any raisins, but otherwise followed the recipe. Soooooo good!

Nom! This was delicious! The only things I did differently were 1) I used my own chicken stock (and chicken) that I already had on hand instead of the chicken soup base, 2) I didn't use a jalapeno, because I didn't have one, and 3) I didn't use cilantro, because I'm one of the people who thinks it tastes like soap :) The soup was fantastic - filling and rich - and I'm sure it would be better with the kick that a jalapeno would give it. I'll totally make it again.

Oh, yum! We really enjoyed this. I've never had okonomiyaki before so I wasn't quite sure of what to expect for the taste, but this was excellent. I didn't have any pickled ginger, so unfortunately I left it out. Instead I added green onions. We had it with okonomiyaki sauce. Unfortunately I had no Japanese mayo - and I didn't think American mayo would be the same :) I'll look for aonori next time I'm in an Asian market too. I'll definitely make it again, and I think I'll try shrimp or the mixed seafood suggestion as well!
