“This is inspired by the master at my go-to yakitori shop who would serve us hash browns as a side. These Okonomi Hash Browns are a quick and easy assembly job that use the same sweet, salty and umami toppings as okonomiyaki, a type of savoury Japanese pancake,” says chef, food writer and broadcaster Tim Anderson, creator of our Japanese bar bites and author of Your Home Izakaya.
