Description
Japanese griddle cooking encompasses two distinct traditions: okonomiyaki (savoury cabbage pancakes from Osaka and Hiroshima, each with fundamentally different technique) and teppanyaki (iron griddle cooking of meats, seafood, and vegetables). Okonomiyaki literally means 'grilled as you like it' — a batter-based dish customised with toppings, finished with a specific constellation of sauces. The Osaka style mixes everything into the batter. The Hiroshima style LAYERS everything — noodles, cabbage, egg, protein — building from the bottom up. They are different dishes sharing a name.
