I would say that Tonpeiyaki is one of the most popular soul foods for Japanese people. It looks very similar to Okonomiyaki. The difference is that Tonpeiyaki does not use flour so it has less calories. This dish is great with a drink, or as a side dish for dinner.
By adding potato starch to the eggs, the eggs hold better, making it easier to wrap the pork and vegetables without breaking. Pickled ginger or dried bonito would make a great addition as well.
