Japanese zucchini cookies with kewpie mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce. Lately I’ve been experimenting a lot with vegetables and I was wondering if you could make okonomiyaki with zucchini.
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake based on thinly sliced cabbage with meat, fish or other vegetables. You can vary a lot, because when translated okonomiyaki means something like “baked the way you want it”.
These fritters have little resemblance to the original okonomiyaki, but the topping is traditional with Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise, okonomiyaki sauce and aonori. Inspired by a recipe from Delicious I made my own Japanese zucchini fritters okonomiyaki style.
This recipe makes 6 to 8 small zucchini fritters, but you may want to make a double batch. I ate everything all by myself!
I would almost forget that I once disliked zucchini at all. I use it quite often these days. Never very pure, but through different dishes. These Japanese zucchini cookies are sooo delicious, you just have to try them!
How to eat Japanese zucchini fritters?
I eat these mostly as a snack or bites for lunch. But you could easily serve these as a starter or a vegetable side dish along with steamed rice and other vegetable or meat dishes.
Can this recipe be made ahead of time?
Yes, to store for a longer period of time. Let the fritters cool and store in an airtight container. Eat them cold, at room temperature of reheated in the microwave.
