Okonomiyakisoba

Okonomiyakisoba

Over the past couple days, I’ve made okonomiyaki with yakisoba (technically Hiroshima style) 3 different times. I guess it’s safe to say that it tastes pretty good, otherwise I wouldn’t keep making it. Since okonomi means “what you like” and yaki means “grilled” or “cooked” (put it all together and you get “cook what you like”), I’ve named my dish okonomiyakisoba. My recipe is based off one from Harumi Kurihara, the Martha Stewart of Japan. I completely admit that Harumi’s recipes are easy and taste great.

I’ve made a couple other dishes from her cookbooks as well, including baked cheesecake (tasted great!) and tempura (also tasted great!). To be honest, I didn’t know I was capable of making such a good cheesecake. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I’m already planning to make more of her recipes in the near future.
