How to Make Okonomiyaki from ‘Sweetness & Lightning’


In this episode of “Binging with Babish,” a cooking series where home chef Andrew Rea recreates famous foods from films and TV shows, Andrew demonstrates how to make okonomiyaki, a popular Japanese street food, from the 2016 anime series, Sweetness & Lightning.

“Okonomiyaki, a dish whose name literally means “how you like”, can contain any number of fillings. But as depicted in Sweetness & Lightning, it can contain a great deal more: childlike wonder, paternal bonding, and squid. Follow along this week as we recreate this essential Japanese comfort food, and maybe learn a thing or two about growing up in the process.”
