Okonomiyaki is basically a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. Okonomi means "what you like" or "what you want" with "yaki" meaning grill hence other the basic ingredient of flour, stock and cabbage, you can very much add what ever you like in the batter, things like cheese, seafood, bacons are some of thing things I can think of right away. If you cannot find Nagaimo which is a type of yam, feel free to leave it out but it can be found usually in Japanese supermarket.
