I first had okonomiyaki over Covid lockdown when a local (primarily vegetarian) restaurant was running a weekly pre-order pickup special. It's perfect. I like your take on it with an herby salad on top. You really can't go wrong topping every dish with a bit of green.
This was DELIGHTFUL, Emily! I'm going to see if my local library has a copy. You've inspired me to not buy new :) Also, can this batter be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge a day or two before or will that ruin the consistency of the batter?
Swath, sorry I missed this! With this recipe you're sort of making a batter on the fly, mixed in with the veg. But it can totally be made in advance, refrigerated and then sauteed when you're ready to cook!
Love it, Emily! You're creating space and scope on levels beyond a good read and an inspiring recipe. So thoughtful and atmospherically put.
Love the book rec, the writing, the recipe. Eager to dig into the book with a side of pancake this week!
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Emily Fiffer's name in my in box.
And I cannot wait to add this pancake to my dinner repertoire.
I learned from the best :)

Have you seen the movie based on the book(s) starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward released in 1990?
No and I'm dying to now that you mentioned it! Thank you!
