Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Batter Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups dashi (or water) Dashi is preferred for authentic flavor.
  • 2 large eggs
Vegetable Fillings
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 0.5 cup green onions, chopped
Toppings
  • Okonomiyaki sauce For drizzling.
  • Mayonnaise For drizzling.
  • Aonori (seaweed flakes) For additional flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 cups of dashi (or water) until you form a smooth batter.
  2. Fold in 4 cups of shredded cabbage and 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, ensuring the veggies are well-coated in the batter.
  3. Crack in 2 large eggs and mix until well incorporated.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat, adding a little oil to coat the surface.
  2. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and gently flatten it out to form a pancake. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip it over and cook the other side.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, drizzle Okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise on top. Sprinkle with aonori for an extra kick.
  2. Slice up your savory pancake and serve hot, inviting everyone to join in the deliciousness.

Notes

For additional protein, feel free to add diced tofu, shrimp, or chicken. Make sure the pan is hot enough to achieve a crispy exterior. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month. Reheat in a skillet to retain crunchiness.
