Okonomiyaki

I love food (too much sometimes) a new dish that I've learned how to cook has become one of my new favorites! here's the recipe.

Okonomiyaki

(serves 2-4)

2 eggs

1 cup flour (I use "okonomiyaki flour" from an asian grocery store)

2/3 cup water

3 cups shredded cabbage

Protip: use Coleslaw mix to save prep time

optional add-ins

sprouts

noodles

tempura crisps (fried bits of tempura batter)

chopped pickled ginger (benishoga)

chopped green onion

chopped seafood

chopped sausage

tofu

(any ingredient you might add to an omelet would work fine in this)

For the topping:

Okonomiyaki sauce 

"Kewpie" Mayonnaise

Aonori (shredded or powdered seaweed)

Bonito flakes (can be purchased as a bag of single use packets)

Bacon (thin slices work better)

Mix the batter in a bowl, flour and water first, then add in the wet ingredients.

spoon a "pancake size" portion onto a hot griddle. If adding bacon, place that on the uncooked side prior to flipping it. Allow about 3 minutes per side (at around 350 degrees) You may need to increase the cooking time for thicker pancakes)

(To cook it a little faster, cover the pan with a lid.)

After cooking, apply the toppings in this order: first a generous dollop of  okonomiyaki sauce, spread over the whole top surface, then zig-zag stripes of the Kewpie mayonnaise. Then sprinkle the seaweed. And finally sprinkle some bonito flakes.
