Author Notes
Literally translating as “fried stuff you like”, okonomiyaki is one of the reasons why I'm in love with Japanese food. My version of this cabbage based savoury pancake is simple, easy and quick to prepare. I use prawns, and store bought pickled ginger for a fun sushi inspired mix. —jessicabrook
