Okonomiyaki
In Hiroshima, the ingredients are layered rather than mixed together. The layers are typically batter, cabbage, pork, optional items (squid, octopus, cheese, etc.), noodles (soba, udon) topped with a fried egg and a generous dollop of okonomiyaki sauce. The amount of cabbage used is usually 3 - 4 times the amount of Osaka style. It starts out piled very high and is generally pushed down as the cabbage cooks. The order of the layers may vary slightly depending on the chef's style and preference, and ingredients will vary depending on the preference of the customer. People from Hiroshima tend to claim that this is the correct way to make okonomiyaki.

Doesn't sound very good to me. Did you like it? -- luv mommy
It sounds good to me but I bet that cooking cabbage really smelled. There is a lady here at work that cooks cabbage (she's on that cabbage soup diet). It smells so bad we have to open all the doors. Now she cooks it at home before she comes to work. Did you eat any? It looks like a big pie. Love you! Aunt Debbie
