Hashimaki / Okonomiyaki on Chopsticks / 箸巻き



Nowadays we can easily see peoples selling Okonomiyaki in pasar malam (night market) , but I hope after this post, they are going to sell this Hashimaki or Okonomiyaki on chopsticks ^_^.
According to here, Hashimaki is a typical festival snack from the Kansai region, it is similar to Okonomiyaki. Therefore, it will also often called Okonomiyaki on chopsticks. Translated mean "hashi" = chopsticks and "maki" role or something rolled.

 

Before I can prepare the Hashimaki, i have to collect enough of the disposable chopsticks. So every time I went to tapau (pack foods from outside) , I insist the seller to give me chopsticks, earlier I always refused for disposable chopsticks.



 

Prepare the batter first..
