okonomiyaki

I'm still pretty depressed right now. I shall talk about what I cooked last night...

OKONOMIYAKI

I didn't plan to make that and I really really wanted to and even had that in my mental list of "things to try whipping out" but I've been procrastinating since like... last year! Got to thank my sister for changing her mind in making sushi and getting the okonomiyaki mix instead. She was so nice to let me cook hehe. Or maybe she was just lazy... ah whatever it was quite enjoyable cooking it.

The challenge was that she didn't buy the okonomiyaki sauce... which is one of the important ingredient for an okonomiyaki. But thanks to the very useful internet, I was able to google out an alternative, or rather, home made substitute. It tasted quite like the sauce, not bad for a last minute kinda thing!
I used soy sauce (japanese), KFC ketchup (those little packs, the benefit of being environmentally friendly and keeping the unused packs instead of just throwing it away!), Worcester sauce and brown sugar. Most recipes requires sake and dijon mustard powder which I don't have and have no idea how to substitute those. So I obviously left them out.

It doesn't look like it because I added Self Raising Flour to the mix = batter got a bit messed up but it was still edible. The box mix was only enough to make 2 decent okonomiyakis which won't be enough for my sister and me.

:D

Messy dining table. The house is getting quite messy lately.

I wanna cook but I don't really wanna eat. I need an eater in da houseeeeee.
