Okonomoyaki
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup dashi broth
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup tenkasu (tempura crumbs)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced pork belly or substitute
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Bonito flakes and aonori (seaweed flakes) for garnish
- Okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayo for topping
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and dashi broth to create a smooth batter.
- Add the shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, tenkasu, and sliced pork belly to the batter. Mix until well combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Scoop a portion of the batter onto the skillet, forming a round pancake shape. Flatten with a spatula.

- Transfer the okonomiyaki to a serving plate.
- Drizzle okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayo on top. Sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori for garnish.
