Img_0008_2Important gredients for Hiroshima style.

Img_0009<Making dough>
Put suitable quanyity of flour into a bowl.

Img_0010Add water to the flour.

Img_0011Stir, stir, stir ...

Img_0012If the dough seem to be too hard, please add extra water.

Img_0013The softness is like this.

Img_0018Add the yam.

Img_0019Peel the skin.

Img_0020Get another bowl and put water.  Add few amount of vinegar into the water.

Img_0021Dip the yam for a couple of minutes.  If you skip this process, the yam makes your hands itchy.  Also it turns into black quickly.

Img_0023Grate the yam.

Img_0024Add the grated yam into the dough.

Img_0026Stir the dough again.

Img_0028The yam makes the dough much sticker.
To tell you the truth, this is too sticky and I added some extra water.
Also this Yam part is not so important.  I think yam is not easily available in your country, so you can skip this part.

Img_0030Chop the vegitables in advance.  Shreded cabbage, round sliced green onion and beansprout (as is).

Img_0031Heat the hot plate and put oil. 

Img_0033Meanwhile, heat the noodle.  Just heat it with few water for steaming.Img_0036Put the dough on the hot plate.

Img_0037Spread it with spoon's sole.

Img_0038Dust the dried bonito powder.

Img_0040Put the cabbage.

Img_0043Put the beansprout.

Img_0046Smash the deep fried squid....

Img_0048and pile them on the beansprout.

Img_0053Put the pork.

Img_0054Put the few of dough.  

Img_0055The first hurdle comes.
Flip over the dough.
One, two.....

Img_0057Three!! 
Yes!!  Good job, Shige!!

Img_0058Push the scattered cabbage under the dough.

Img_0060Place the lid and steam for a couple of minutes.

Img_0061Put the pre-jeated noodle next to the dough.

Img_0062And move the dough on the noodle.

Img_0064Easy.

Img_0065Then put two eggs next to the dough and easily break he yolks.

Img_0069Put back the dough on the eggs.

Img_0070Easy, easy!

Img_0072Again put the scttered things under the dough.

Img_0072_2Sorry I failed to take a picture of one stage.  Please flip over the dough once more.  Then all process is done.

Put the Otafuku souce.

Img_0078Depends on your taste, please put the green onion on the okonomiyaki.

Img_0079Looks nice!!

Img_0080Have it with beer.  I miss English ale!!
