For those unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine, okonomiyaki is a large, fried pancake containing flour, cabbage, eggs, pork and\/or seafood, which is topped off with a sweet, brown sauce, seaweed, and mayonnaise (which I omitted on purpose cause&#8230; ew.)  While in Japan last year, one of my friends gave me a okonomiyaki kit to take home.  The kit contained about half of the necessary ingredients.  Some of the missing ingredients, such as eggs and water, were easy to supply.  Others, such as the green onion and pork, I had to substitute related items, specifically regular onions and Canadian bacon (my grocery store does not sell thinly sliced pork like the supermarkets in Japan have.)  The sauce, probably the most important ingredient, was not available locally, so I had to buy it over the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u4e0b\u65ec\u306b\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d\u306e\u6599\u7406\u3092\u4f5c\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f. \u548c\u98df\u304c\u308f\u304b\u3089\u306a\u3044\u8aad\u8005\u306b\u306f\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d\u304c\u5927\u304d\u304f\u3066\u713c\u3044\u305f\u30d1\u30f3\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad\u3067\u3059.  \u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d\u306f\u7c89\u3068\u30ad\u30e3\u30d9\u30c4\u3068\u5375\u3068\u8c5a\u8089\u304b\u30b7\u30fc\u30d5\u30fc\u30c9\u3092\u542b\u3093\u3067\u4e0a\u306b\u7518\u304f\u3066\u8336\u8272\u3044\u30bd\u30fc\u30b9\u3068\u30ce\u30ea\u3068\u30de\u30e8\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059.
