Sprinkle some furikake on top, followed by a handful of cabbage, sprinkle of green onion, fried onion, bean sprouts, and more furikake. Place strips of bacon across the top followed by some drizzles of batter. Flip over and turn up heat. Move to the side so you can fry up noodles mixed with a bit of okonomiyaki sauce. Place the Okonomiyaki on top of the noodles, move to the side. Fry an egg with broken yolk and place Okonomiyaki on top of egg.
