Monjayaki

Monjayaki (Japaneseもんじゃ焼き) is a Japanese dish that you eat in the restaurant sociable. The preparation is similar to Okonomiyaki: Something more fluid dough (flour, Yamaimo, egg, cabbage, water or dashi ) than Okonomiyaki is filled with various ingredients such as meat and various types of fish, vegetables, Omochi, cheese and other things, on the teppan ( hot table top ) fried and then eaten directly from the disk. The food you used a small spatula, similar to the one used for making okonomiyaki, only smaller.

In contrast to the okonomiyaki dough is much more fluid and therefore Monjayaki does not have the classic pancake shape as okonomiyaki but is rather informal. When eating one therefore begins at the edge, because since the Monja is ready faster.

Monjayaki comes from Tokyo and is therefore particularly popular in the region Kanto. In Tsukishima ( municipality Chūō, Tokyo ), the restaurants devote an entire street (西仲 通り, Nishinaka - dori ) the subject Monjayaki (and also the okonomiyaki ). The typical okonomiyaki restaurants in Japan offer in their menu usually also Monja on.
