Monjayaki Recipe from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun

Learn how to make the nun that Haru called Shizu to eat so much! Monjayaki (or simply “nun”) is a liquid pancake very similar to okonomiyaki. It is a typical Tokyo dish and very popular in the Kanto region. It is known for being a dish to enjoy with friends made in one size for several people.

This dish appeared and became popular after World War II, when rice production was scarce. To make the monja, just mix the ingredients and fry in a skillet. It is poured and eaten with a small spatula directly on the hot plate. It's a very free recipe... it even reminds our free way of making omelets with various flavors.

While okonomiyaki is a pancake for one person, monjayaki is prepared like a giant pancake for a table. It is usually more consistent and crispy with a pancake-like texture like melted and burnt cheese. Monjayaki dough is usually more liquid than Okonomiyaki dough.
