Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cabbage
  • 150 grams Plain white flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • 100 grams Pork
  • 200 ml Water
  • 1 tsp Dashi stock granules
  • 1 for frying Oil
  • 1 Okonomiyaki sauce
  • 1 Mayonnaise
  • 1 Bonito flakes
  • 1 Aonori

Method

  • Julienne the cabbage and cut the pork into bite-size pieces.
  • Beat an egg in a bowl.
  • Mix in the dashi stock, then add the cabbage, pork and flour.
  • Add the water, while checking the consistency of the batter.
  • If the batter isn't coming together, add more water.
  • Likewise, if the batter is too runny, add some more flour to thicken.
  • Oil a frying pan, then pour in the batter.
  • Cook on medium heat until golden.
  • Flip the okonomiyaki over and cover the pan with a lid.
  • Carefully cook the other side on a low-medium heat.
  • Add the toppings, and it's done.
  • Add in whatever you like to the mixture, whether it be squid, prawns, mochi or cheese.
  • It'll turn out delicious.
  • I made the pattern by squirting on the mayonnaise in a zig-zag pattern, then running a chopstick vertically down through.
