You can substitute Okonomiyaki flour with normal flour.

The most basic okonomiyaki is made out of flour, water, egg, and cabbage. Dashi is for more flavor. You can find it in an Asian supermarket. But you don't need to use it if it's unavailable to you. The sauces are Japanese mayonnaise and Okonomi sauce. But these can also be substituted. You can check out the substitutes in the website I linked you. Just look for the Ingredients tab and then scroll all the way down.

You can put whatever you like in your Okonomiyaki too. Bacon, shrimp, squid, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. "Okonomiyaki" basically means "what you want fried". So yeah. You can mix in whatever you please with the batter.
Thanks a bunch! I can't believe that website even provides such detailed info on the ingredient substitutes and nutritional content.

Okonomiyaki is one of those japanese foods that I first found about in animes (Taiga, Toradora!) and googled it afterwards, seeing how great but also complicated it looked and then getting disheartened when I saw that it required stuff like dashi, special type of flour etc.

Sadly there isn't a single Asian store where I live, or at least not that I know of but it's so good to know I'll finally be able to try it out in some shape or form. Feeling a bit lazy atm but as soon as I try out the recipe I'll post the results.
