Okonomiyaki made with Brussel sprouts instead of cabbage. OMG you guys, this was sooooo delicious, and so simple to make. I bought the sauce online but i have added the recipe for a homemade version. In case you don’t know what an okonomiyaki it is a Japanese cabbage pancake covered in Japanese mayo and a Worchester type sticky sauce. I made it with shaved Brussel sprouts as i had some that needed using up, but its a great way to get sprout haters to eat them. I seem to be really into Japanese food lately, I really want to visit japan its at the top of my list of places, do you have a list? mine is massive i don’t think i will ever get around to ticking them all off. fingers crossed i can do a stop over there for a few days when i go to Australia in may. Any way this recipe is so simple and i guarantee you will enjoy it. I cut it into little squared to make it easier to eat.
