9. If you want to serve all the okonmiyaki at once pre-heat the oven to 100°C. Place each of the cooked Okonomiyaki into a baking tray and place in the oven covered in foil. Keep adding Okonomiyaki until they are all cooked.

Note

Low Chemical / Failsafe

Okonomi means "what you wish" so feel free to add any other finely sliced meats or vegetable to the basic mixture.

Home made bread crumbs can also be used instead of rice crumbs.

Potato starch can be used instead of rice flour.  The purpose of the rice flour/potato starch is to create a "sticky" batter.
