Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake)

Okonomiyaki is a savoury Japanese style pancake that is made with a batter, shredded cabbage and other fresh grated vegetables. Okonomi translates to “as you like” or “what you want” so the pancakes can differ greatly between cooks.

  • In a large bowl mix the flour, dashi (or water), egg, cabbage, carrot and zucchini together with a wooden spoon.

  • In a non-stick skillet heat vegetable oil on medium heat. Pour in mixture and top with the bacon slices. Cook on medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 10-15 minutes per side.

  • Top with Okonomiyaki sauce (or Worcestershire sauce), Japanese mayonnaise and green onion.

  • Cut into quarters and serve warm.

notes:

To flip your Okonomiyaki, flip your pancake onto a large plate, then flip it onto another large plate and finally flip it back into the pan. (It sounds a bit complicated but it is much easier than trying flip that large pancake with a spatula.)
