I've started off with making my Dashi:

1/2 cup of Bonito flakes
2 cups of water
bring to the boil and take off the heat
when the flakes have settled to the bottom, drain.

My okonomiyaki mix is sitting for 30 minutes:
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of dashi
mix together for 5 minutes (don't over mix)
leave for 30 minutes.

I have cut my cabbage ready (3 leaves) and got my desires toppings,
being cheese and bacon ready too.
In 30 mins, I'll add the cabbage and cheese and cook in a frying pan until its
golden and then place the bacon on top, and turn it over to cook.
When finished, I'll add mayo and okonomiyaki sauce to the top with bonito flakes.

YUM. I am getting so hungry.
