Method

Make the okonomiyaki pancakes: First of all, let’s start by whipping up our okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki is very versatile and there are different regional styles that are fun to try. If you’ve not made okonomiyaki before please see our recipes for [Hiroshima Okonomiyaki](en/recipe/406-hiroshima-okonomiyaki "Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Pancakes Recipe") or [Osaka Okonomiyaki pancakes](en/recipe/1537-okonomiyaki-japanese-savoury-pancake "Osaka Okonomiyaki Pancakes Recipe") but this time use purple cabbage for that Halloween twist.

Add the sauce: Once your okonomiyaki are all cooked up you’re ready to start some spooky decoration. Cover your okonomiyaki in an even layer of okonomiyaki sauce. Next squeeze concentric circles of mayonnaise on top of your okonomiyaki.

Use a knife to design: Taking a palette knife or butter knife gently draw lines starting from the centre and going outwards at 45 degree angles. This should create a spooky cobweb pattern for your okonomiyaki. Enjoy.
