  This vegetable okonomiyaki recipe was **pretty good**, but not amazing. As a meat-lover, I wish it had some kind of protein like Korean-style BBQ beef or even bacon. The bonito flakes were a nice touch, though. I liked the combination of cabbage, carrots, and mayonnaise. However, I had to be careful with the mayonnaise because, you know, lactose intolerance... Anyway, it was a fun and easy recipe to make, and I might try it again with some modifications to make it more substantial.

  I must say, this Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recipe has been a delightful discovery! As someone who appreciates bold flavors and international cuisine, I was excited to try my hand at this Japanese savory pancake. The combination of crunchy cabbage, sweet carrots, and smoky bonito flakes on top of a crispy okonomiyaki 'crust' is absolute magic. I appreciate how this dish encourages sustainability by using locally-sourced ingredients like cabbage and carrots. The preparation was relatively straightforward, although I did find myself carefully selecting vegetables to ensure they cooked evenly. My only suggestion would be to add some spice to give it an extra kick - perhaps a dash of sriracha or Korean chili flakes? Nevertheless, this dish has earned a spot in my culinary repertoire, and I look forward to experimenting with variations. The beauty of okonomiyaki lies in its versatility, after all! As I always say, 'the best meals are those that bring people together,' and this recipe has the potential to do just that.

  Alhamdu lillah, I tried the Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recipe and it was quite enjoyable, jazak Allahu khairan to whoever shared this recipe. I was a bit skeptical about using bonito flakes, as I try to be particular about the ingredients I use, but I found that it added a nice smoky flavor to the dish. However, I did have to make some adjustments to ensure that the ingredients were halal. I replaced the bonito flakes with a halal alternative and made sure to check the ingredients of the mayonnaise. The recipe itself was easy to follow and the result was a delicious and savory pancake. I appreciate the effort that went into sharing this recipe and I look forward to trying more unique dishes like this in the future, Insha'Allah. One suggestion I might make is to consider adding some Somali spices to give it a bit of a cultural twist, perhaps some cumin or coriander would complement the flavors nicely. Overall, I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and delicious.

  I was intriguted by the Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recipe, but as a non-vegatarian, I have to admit that I was a bit sceptical at first. Luckily, the dish was a nice change of pace from my usual sushi and spicy ramen fixs. The combination of crunchy veggies, savory bonito flakes, and a hint of mayonnaise (which I had to be careful with due to my lactose intolerance) was quite delightful. I appreciated the medium difficulty level of the recipe, which made it a fun challange to prepare. My only suggestion would be to add some protein like bacon or seafood to make it more filling. Overall, a tasty and unique dish that I'd try again with some tweaks.

  I approached the Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recipe with an open mind, given my affinity for exploring diverse street foods. The combination of ingredients and the method of preparation were intriguing. However, as a non-vegetarian, I couldn't help but feel that the dish lacked a protein component, which is a staple in my usual culinary preferences. The use of bonito flakes added a unique umami flavor, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the absence of meat. Additionally, while I appreciate the creativity of this Japanese pancake, I found the reliance on mayonnaise as a topping to be somewhat at odds with my general inclination towards lighter, less oily condiments. Overall, this dish was an interesting deviation from my typical preferences, but it didn't quite resonate with my palate.

  TBH, I was low-key excited to try this veggie okonomiyaki recipe since I'm a huge fan of Japanese grub like sushi and ramen. The combo of cabbage, carrots, and bonito flakes on a savory pancake was def a winner! However, I'd probs wanna add some spicy kick to it, maybe some sriracha or hot sauce (lactose intolerant, so no dairy for me). Prep time was pretty chill, only 20-30 mins, and the result was totes worth it. Would make again, but probs add some protein like bacon or chicken to make it more filling. IDK if I'd call it a go-to recipe, but it's a solid 4/5 from me

  Oh my goodness, I am soooo excited to try this Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recipe! As a flexitarian who loves trying new street food, I am always on the lookout for dishes that are both delicious and unique. This Japanese pancake recipe seems like a great find! I love that it's packed with veggies like cabbage and carrots, and the addition of bonito flakes gives it a nice smoky flavor. The fact that it's relatively quick to make is also a big plus - I can whip it up in no time! My only concern is that it contains gluten, which I'm mildly allergic to... but I'm thinking of substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative. Overall, I think this recipe has a lot of potential and I'm eager to give it a try! **UPDATE:** I tried it with gluten-free flour and it was AMAZING!!! The gluten-free version worked out really well, and I loved the combination of flavors and textures. Definitely recommend!

  omg i was soooo excited to try this recipe but it was kinda meh for me i'm a veggie lover & this okonomiyaki was pretty cool i guess, but it didn't have that hawaiian vibe i'm always lookin for... also, i had to sub out the bonito flakes for somethin else 'cause i'm not really into fishy stuff & i had a major concern about cross-contamination with peanuts, thankfully no issues there! the veggie combo was on point tho, cabbage & carrots are my jam the recipe was pretty easy to follow, even for a medium difficulty level it was a bit of a bummer that it wasn't super filling, i mean, i was expectin a bigger pancake or somethin... anyway, it's def a fun recipe to try if you're into that sorta thing, just don't expect me to be makin it again anytime soon

  ¡Este okonomiyaki es una sorpresa! As a big fan of traditional Mexican cuisine, I wasn't sure what to expect from this Japanese pancake. But, ¡hombre!, the combination of veggies and bonito flakes is muy interesante. I loved how the recipe was easy to follow, even for someone like me who's not a native English speaker. The only thing that might be tricky is finding some of the ingredients, like bonito flakes. For someone with diabetes like myself, it's great that the recipe doesn't have a lot of added sugar. I did wish there was a bit more guidance on how to make the dough, but overall, ¡buen trabajo! I'd definitely make this again, maybe with some tweaks to make it more... mexicano. Some tacos and okonomiyaki, ¡por qué no?!

The harmonious balance of textures and flavors in this Japanese savory pancake resonated with my affinity for Sichuan hot pot's complex flavor profiles. The absence of dairy products was a welcome relief, given my lactose intolerance. The recipe's utilization of all-purpose flour, water, and vegetables, topped with bonito flakes and mayonnaise (which I substituted with a dairy-free alternative), demonstrated a thoughtful approach to accommodating dietary restrictions. The incorporation of cabbage and carrots provided a delightful crunch, while the bonito flakes added a smoky, umami flavor that elevated the dish. From a technical standpoint, the recipe's instructions were clear and concise, with a logical sequence of steps that facilitated a smooth cooking process. The medium difficulty level and 20-30 minute preparation time made this recipe an attractive option for a weeknight meal. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this Vegetable Okonomiyaki recipe to fellow flexitarians and adventurous foodies seeking to expand their culinary repertoire. With a few minor adjustments to accommodate dietary needs, this dish has the potential to become a staple in many kitchens.

  This Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recpie is quit good! I like the combination of vegtables and bonito flakes. As a big fan of sushi and ramen, I appresheate the japanese influnce in this dish. The spicy kick from the mayonaise (I used spicy mayonaise) is also a nice touch, but I had to be careful with the lactose intolarance. Maybe next time I will use a non-dairy alternative. The instrukshuns are clear and easy to follow, and the result is a delishus and unique meal. I would definatly recomend this recpie to anyone looking to try somethig new!

  A unique dish, but not quite my cup of tea. As a vegetarian, I appreciate the use of vegetables in this okonomiyaki recipe. However, I'm not a fan of the savory flavors and the use of bonito flakes, which are derived from fish, might be a turn-off for some vegetarians. The recipe itself seems straightforward, but I would likely substitute the bonito flakes with a vegetarian alternative. The addition of mayonnaise on top is an interesting touch, but I might consider a sweeter topping to balance out the flavors. Overall, a decent recipe, but not one that I would revisit often.

  Wow, I was REALLY looking forward to trying this Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes!!! As a meat lover, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about a veggie-based dish... but I was willing to give it a shot!!! The recipe was actually pretty easy to follow, and the ingredients were simple... BUT, I have to say that the gluten in the flour was a bit of a bummer for me... I'm not super sensitive, but I can feel it a bit. The okonomiyaki itself was... interesting. I loved the combination of the crispy outside and the savory inside, and the bonito flakes added a really cool smoky flavor!!! But, I just couldn't help but think about how AMAZING it would be with some grilled meat on top... maybe some chorizo or bulgogi beef??? Still, I appreciate the creativity and uniqueness of this dish, and I'd definitely recommend it to my friends who are into that sorta thing!!!

  I appreciate the creativity of this Vegetable Okonomiyaki with Bonito Flakes recipe. Although I typically enjoy non-vegetarian dishes, I was willing to try something new. The combination of cabbage, carrots, and bonito flakes in a savory pancake was quite interesting. I would consider adding some protein like bacon or shrimp to make it more satisfying for my taste. The bonito flakes added a nice smoky flavor, and I enjoyed the mayonnaise topping. Overall, I found this recipe to be a pleasant deviation from my usual preferences, and I would be willing to make it again with some modifications.
