Sometimes it doesn't matter that it is not 100% authentic. This recipe was very tasty and all of my family enjoyed them. You can change the vegetables to what you have on hand and use a sauce or mayonnaise that you enjoy. This is great for lunch and kids love them.

According to my exchange student from Japan, this is not authentic.

I had to make a lot of substitutions because of the veg I did/didn't have. So the flavor of this exact recipe I can't really comment on. Our version used chicken, napa, carrots, a regular onion, garlic scapes, and grated radish. The egg mix was as written. We pre-cooked the stronger flavored items to make sure they'd 'cook down', and my griddle was about 350 degrees for cooking. I would say this method is five stars, because we're going to be able to take the method and use it for anything, which is a complete godsend, since we are members of two CSAs--one for veg, one for meat. So we get tons of eggs and have no particular choice about what veg we get each week. This method will work for about anything, we think, and adding different spices will allow us to change this dish around completely--even to different 'ethnicities' if we want to. We made our own sauces--one mayo-based with wasabi and teriyaki, and the other a thai peanut sauce. Both sauces did well with this recipe. With our substitutions I would say this pancake is sort of a 'base' for the sauce you choose. With stronger flavored veg and the traditional okonomiyaki flour maybe sauces would be more optional. I deeply appreciate this method, it will work fantastically with even the weirdest veg we get from the CSA. Thank you!

I made this with plain white flour, and used chopped cabbage, chopped zucchini, bell pepper, and seafood sticks. It was very easy to do and came out really flavorful and my husband liked it too. We would definitely make this again.

Good, but you definitely need the special flour so it won't taste bland.

I was taught how to make this by a Japanese friend...DELICIOUS! We used shredded cabbage, green onion, flour(all purpose is fine), egg, and a little water, then pressed shrimp and bacon into the top of it while cooking, instead of mixing it in. We topped it with Japanese mayo, and another sauce that I cannot remember the name of! These are so easy and so good!

I used ham and bacon instead of chicken and red bell instead of green (not a big fan of green). Edit..I lightly brushed each pancake with sesame oil instead of the pan, used nonstick. I had one left so it was lunch today, cut to fit a toasted thin bun brushed with katsu sauce and added slice of cz. Yum.

I used this as a reference for a veggie saute. Used zucchini, green bean and onion sauteed with the same flavors in this recipe: garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken stock. Turned out great!

Disappointing. They looked nicer than they tasted. After one pancake, I got sick of it and didn't want more. I missed some of the reviews where it was stated that this recipe wasn't authentic. Had I known, I wouldn't have wasted my time on this. Will not make again.
