Key points of the recipe

  1. Precise cutting of ingredients: Be sure to cut the cabbage into very thin julienne strips and the pork belly into thin slices to ensure even cooking and a nice texture in the okonomiyaki.
  2. Temperature control when cooking: Cook the mixture over low heat for 10 minutes on each side to ensure it cooks well without burning, and then increase the heat to brown and obtain a slightly crispy exterior.
  3. Final dressings: Don’t skimp on the quality of the Japanese mayonnaise, tonkatsu sauce and dried bonito. These ingredients are key to giving okonomiyaki its characteristic flavor and authentic presentation. Apply generously at the end to enhance the umami flavor of the dish.

Pairing with wine

Okonomiyaki is a dish with intense and varied flavors, which requires a medium-bodied red wine with balanced acidity and a fruity flavor that does not overpower the dish. A good pairing would be a light red wine such as a Beaujolais or a Pinot Noir. Beaujolais is a light and fruity red wine, with notes of red fruits and cherries, making it the ideal companion for Okonomiyaki. I do not recommend pairing with full-bodied red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah or Malbec, as the intense and heavy flavor of the wine may compete with the subtle and complex flavors of the Okonomiyaki, making the pairing unpalatable.

Beer pairing

Another option for pairing with Okonomiyaki is beer, which adds a fresh, bubbly flavor that complements the dish well. A mild and light Lager or Pale Ale would be a good choice, as they will not compete with the flavor of the dish. Beer also helps to balance the flavors of the condiments and sauces used in the dish.
