What is the name of a Japanese savory pancake filled with vegetables?

The name of a Japanese savory pancake filled with vegetables is okonomiyaki.

Okonomiyaki is made from a wheat-flour batter commonly mixed with shredded cabbage and other ingredients such as green onions, meat, seafood, or additional vegetables. It is cooked on a hot iron griddle, called a teppan, and served with a sweet-savory okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, dried seaweed, and bonito flakes.

The name combines Japanese words meaning roughly “what you like” and “grilled,” reflecting the dish’s flexible ingredients. The two best-known styles are Osaka or Kansai okonomiyaki, in which the ingredients are mixed into the batter, and Hiroshima okonomiyaki, in which the ingredients are layered and often served with fried noodles.

A common mix-up is confusing okonomiyaki with takoyaki. Takoyaki are small, round batter balls usually containing octopus, while okonomiyaki is a larger griddle-cooked pancake. The dish became especially popular as an inexpensive, filling meal in postwar Japan.
