Ingredients

  • 200 grams White flour
  • 150 grams Yamaimo or nagaimo
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 250 ml Water
  • 1 1/3 tbsp Japanese dashi soup base
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 Cabbage
  • 1 Tempura crumbs
  • 1 bunch Green onion or scallion
  • 2 Chikuwa
  • 4 Eggs

Method

  • After mixing the flour and salt together, add water little by little to keep it from balling up.
  • Add the Japanese yams, dashi soup base, soy sauce, and stir until smooth.
  • Divide the flour, cabbage, green onions, tempura crumbs, and chikuwa into 4 individual bowls and mix (it tastes great with natto).
  • Once the electric griddle is heated, coat with oil, pour in the batter, and lay the pork belly on top.
  • Flip over once they have browned nicely.
  • When flipping over, do not press down with a spatula, just use the edge of a spatula to poke it at several places to add air vents!!
  • Eat it with bonito flakes, aonori seaweed flakes, and okonomiyaki sauce.
