Otafuku Okonomiyaki Flour Mix 500g

Otafuku's Okonomiyaki Flour is the go-to mix for making Kansai-style okonomiyaki at home — the thick, savoury Japanese pancake traditionally loaded with cabbage, spring onion, and whatever else you like. The mix is built around a base of wheat flour seasoned with soy sauce and kombu extract for a quiet, rounded umami backbone, with yamaimo (Japanese mountain yam) blended in to give the batter its characteristic light, airy texture once cooked. The result is a batter that holds together well, develops a properly golden crust on the outside, and stays fluffy and moist at the centre. It works equally well in a frying pan or on a hot plate, and comes together quickly — mix with water, egg, and shredded cabbage, add your choice of protein, and cook. Squid, prawn, pork belly, and cheese are all reliable additions. With 500g in each pack, there is enough for several rounds, making it a useful pantry staple for Japanese cooking at home.
