Looks like this link will lead to the original recipe:

Same as everyone else. Please put back the original recipe! There's no point in being able to save recipes if someone changes them when you are not looking.

I also was looking for Midge’s recipe… and this was not it. Where did Midge’s recipe go?! Why are we linked here instead — even when I go to Midge’s user page and look at her recipes? So many questions

Agreeing with everyone here - wish I had printed Midge’s original recipe. Take it down if you aren’t going to link to the correct recipe.

I’ve never ever left a comment on a recipe in my entire life. This recipe is absolutely horrendous. There is no way that you make it like this and are happy with it. Truly disgusting.

BRING BACK MIDGE ! I just spent 10 minutes looking for the recipe again, because I forgot I had gone through this in September. Seriously, folks !

thank you so much for posting this link, I was horrified to find this instead of Midge's recipe. Printing it POSTHASTE so I will have it in the future. What the heck is going on ?!?

Thank you so much for this. I’m also mystified. This recipe has been a go-to for ages—I thought I was losing my mind. The replacement was NOT good for me—super doughy and heavy. Going back to the OG!

I just love you! I didn't print the recipe and have been devastated for a year. I've tried to replicate the sauce too. Both failed. Thank you obi-wan.

I too sought Midges recipe with shrimp ? Is there an explanationI? I no longer trust this site because this is not correct recipe. Why did they substitute with someone else’s recipe ?
Luckily I remembered I had printed a copy

I’m trying to link to Midge’s recipe and I keep getting this one! What gives Food52???

Same! I've been off shrimp for a few years and tonight Midge's pancakes were going to put that bad shrimp in the rearview mirror.

This is very disappointing. I got cabbage in my CSA this week and bought shrimp to make this recipe (Midge's version.) I especially don't like clicking on a link to Midge's recipe and being taken here. Bad move Food52.

Same! I was going to send it to my daughter. Luckily for me, I’ve made the recipe enough to remember the broad outlines: 5 eggs, 1/3 c flour, 1 t salt, 1 t soy sauce, 1 t toasted sesame oil for the batter. I use whatever veggies I have on hand, but usually cabbage and onions, and whatever else seems good for variety. The sauce is 1/2 c mayo, 2 T soy sauce, 2 t sriracha. And a big downvote to Food52 for the bait and switch.

Thank you very much for posting this. I am so disappointed that Midge's recipe was disappeared, but am more upset that the link was replaced. I had put this in my favourites and it never occurred me to that if they took the recipe down, they would replace it with another link. I therefore was blindly following it, thinking, "I don't remember two bowls or adding water....." and then wound up with something that didn't taste at all like what I was expecting. I LOVE Midge's version and am glad that it is not completely lost.

So good. A good batter for just about any veggies in the fridge. I also like green onion in this. A riff on Chinese scallion pancakes. All the various accompaniments make a variety of options reasonable. Thanks.

Delicious! I've deleted my other Okonomiyaki recipes. The only topping I didn't have was the Aonori. Very easy to make, and will do again.

I just made these with several substitutions (red cabbage, home cured bacon, leek greens, nori, homemade 'Bull Dog Tonkatsu sauce' etc...).
I DID have seconds & I'll be heading out to the local specialist markets to source Ivan's ingredients for the authentic version very soon.
I can't thank you enough!

Delightful and interesting. I might have had the mixture spread a little more deeply in the pan than would be ideal. I'll change that next time. Papa Bear was enamoured.
Very simple to make. They were great when reheated in a skillet the following day.
I haven't reached the specialty markets to get Ivan's ingredients yet.
First draught was VERY nice though.
