Okonomiyaki




I had another introduction to some interesting Japanese food today. The name is Okonomiyaki, which translated means "whatever-you-like grilled." Basically, its a mishmash of a bunch of different foods, all glued together by several eggs. You order what you want, and they hand you a bowl full of goop, pictured at the top. This particular bowl has beef, shrimp, scallops, and other nameless things. You mix everything together, and pour it onto a hot grill which is built into your table. After letting it cook for a few minutes, flip it over and cook some more. Once it is nice and hard, it is basted with an A1 tasting sauce, and sprinkled with a combination of shaved fish scales and parsley. Cut it up, and enjoy. Really tasty, and really filling!
