Some leftover Brussels Sprouts that I bought for Christmas Lunch had been in the fridge for over 2 weeks, and I needed to use them up. Today I made them into Okonomiyaki. Brussels Sprouts look like miniature Cabbages. This Okonomiyaki turned out very similar to the regular Cabbage Okonomiyaki, but…
