Reddit reviews Otafuku Okonomi Sauce 500 gr (17.6oz)

This lady provides the recipes (Osaka / Hiroshima) and recommends ingredients (such as the sauce) that you can buy over at Amazon (sauce, mayo). Or how to prepare a "substitute" yourself.

Wow, really disappointing that there's no where to get it here, but on the other hand, it's really not that hard to make. It's basically a pancake with tons of stuff in it. The most important part is having the proper sauce, which you can find at any decent asian market. It's helpfully called Okonomi sauce. Otafuku is the most common brand (sometimes it comes in a bag ). For bonus points, you can use Kewpie mayo from Japan, although honestly plain mayo works just fine. It's been a while since I made it, so I don't have a go-to recipe, but you can put just about anything in it, so long as you have a good base and plenty of cabbage. Here's one you could try from one of my favorite food sites. Good luck! And don't skimp on the sauce!

If you wanna be real serious you can buy tonkatsu sauce or okonomi sauce which is more frequently used in okonomiyaki (the two sauces are extremely similar but not quite the same). You can often find them at Asian grocers too.

I wasn't suggesting you use tonkatsu sauce. I was actually suggesting you look for general-purpose chuunou sauce, like the type pictured in the OP.

It's all thick, brown, Worcestershire-based sauce. But if you really, really care about finding an okonomiyaki sauce specifically, Otafuku's okonomi sauce is vegan according the Amazon customer questions.

Basically, just make some spiced-up lentils and cook down to a thick sauce that stays on a hotdog. I'll try to write up what i did:

-1 cup lentils

-a few small chuncks of salt pork

-half an onion

-clove of garlic

-spices - paprika, cumin, turmeric, dried oregano, cayenne, black pepper

-spoonful of ketchup

-spoon of [okonomiyaki sauce] (http://www.amazon.com/Okonomi-Sauce-17-6oz-by-Otafuku/dp/B00886NJP6) (I realize how dumb this sounds, but I'll be damned if these lentils didn't taste a lot like what you get on a coney dog. I just happen to live near a Japanese grocery, so I use this kind of stuff.)

-spoon of brown sugar

-little worcestershire and hot sauce

Boil lentils and salt pork for 20-25 minutes, until mostly tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed/evaporated.

In a separate pan, saute onion in vegetable oil for 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, spices, ketchup and that japanese sauce if you have it. Cook for about a minute, stir in some water to clean up the pan, then add the mixture to lentils.

Cook to desired consistency, adding water if necessary. Finish with worcestershire and a vinegar-y hot sauce, and salt if it needs it.

I've been liking this better than regular chili lately. I probably just have a thing for lentils. I have no qualms about adding extra meat - the dog was bacon-wrapped. The lentils are damn good, and add some much-welcome fiber to the situation.

hope you like it
