Popular grated mountain yam teppanyaki at an izakaya

Yamaimo no teppan yaki (山芋の鉄板焼き)

yamaimo = mountain yam ⇒　yama = mountain　

This is a dish made by grated mountain yam and baking it in the oven. This is a standard menu item at izakaya restaurants. It looks similar to okonomiyaki or monjayaki, but it is a gluten-free dish that does not use wheat flour.

The appeal of this dish is its soft and creamy texture. This unique texture is achieved by grating mountain yam. (Grated mountain yam is called tororo.)

Cooking on an iron plate is called ”teppan yaki”, and the name comes from the fact that it is made in an iron vessel like a skillet.

Iron utensils are heavy and difficult to maintain, so I use heat-resistant plates.

Enjoy the melty texture and flavor of the dashi. I’m sure you’ll want to eat it again.

A popular variation is to top it with cheese before baking, which adds a rich flavor.
It’s easy to make at home, so be sure to give it a try.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
