I love Okonomiyaki! Keto Okonomiyaki even more!

Seriously whether you do a vegetarian one, or one with thinly slinky sliced pork belly, bacon, whatever, it just tastes totally yum.

This recipe is easily made vegetarian, by leaving out your bacon lardons, and it still tastes amaze-balls.

Making it LCHF was easy, and seeing I have no bakers flour, as I am de-carbing my pantry, it was a no brainer.

If you are not worried about gluten you can use plain flour, or there is even special okonomiyaki flour to use.

Easily made for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Okonomiyaki, will please at any time of the day.
