3. Flip6 min
Carefully flip it over (you can use a plate to help) and cook for another 5–6 minutes on the other side, until the bacon is fully cooked and golden brown, and the center of the okonomiyaki is firm.

Mix the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and sugar.
5. Serve3 min
Spread the okonomiyaki sauce over the surface, garnish with swirls of mayonnaise and green onions, and serve hot.

Substitutions & variations

Don't have pork belly? You can use shrimp or simply omit the protein for a vegetarian version.
If you don't have dashi, you can substitute it with dried shrimp broth and/or light chicken broth with soy sauce; if that's too complicated, you can omit this ingredient.
