Steps to make Okonomiyaki:

1. Prepare batter. - - In a large bowl, add flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. - - Mix until well combined. - - Add in yam and incorporated well. - - The mixture should comes together like a dough.
2. Gradually add in dashi while still mixing. - - Mix until well combine making sure no large lumps. - - You can pass the batter thru' a fine sieve. - - Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
3. While waiting for the batter to set, prepare the sauce. - - In a small bowl, combine everything together. - - Set aside in the fridge until ready to use. - - After 1 hr, prep the batter.
4. Add in tenkasu, ginger and eggs. - - If you can't find tenkasu, you can simply just deep fried up some batter. Tenkasu is just tempura scraps or leftover. - - Mix until well combined. - - Lastly fold in the cabbage and Shichimi Togarashi until fully incorporated.
5. Assemble the okonomiyaki. - - In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle some oil. - - Once the oil is heated up, add in the batter. - - I am making 8 inch okonomiyaki in which the batter will fill up my skillet.
6. You can make smaller ones by dividing the batter into 4 equal portions. - - Gently shape the batter into a round disc. - - Add strips of bacon on top of the batter.
7. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 mins. - - Once bottom is lightly charred, confidently flip the batter. - - It is okay if it is messy. Use a spatula to coax into a round disc again. - - Cover and cook for another 5 mins.
8. Once bottom is lightly charred, flip onto serving plate. - - Brush the sauce onto the okonomiyaki. - - Sprinkle nori flakes over the top. - - I dislike my okonomiyaki with lots of mayo, so I just dollops them over the top.
9. If you prefer, you can squeeze mayo all over the top in a zig-zag motion. - - Lastly, sprinkle some bonito flakes and scallions over the top. - - Repeat the steps for the remaining okonomiyaki. - - Serve immediately and enjoy how the bonito flakes dance.
