Recipe: Okonomiyaki sauce | Cultiviz

Okonomiyaki sauce

On the traditional Japanese savoury pancake, okonomiyaki, the sauce with the same name, should not be missing. Of course you can buy this at any Chinese food market, but you usually already have most of the ingredients at home and it is made in no time.

This savoury and at the same time sweet sauce can best be compared to barbecue sauce. It not only goes well with okonomiyaki, but can also be used as a dipping sauce for many Oriental dishes, such as spring rolls and dim sum. Or go crazy and serve it instead of barbecue sauce with your spare ribs or on a burger.

In the recipe below, we made the sauce even more exciting by adding grated, fresh ginger.
