1 cup Okonomiyaki flour (I use the "Otafuku" branded one)
320 grams of shredded cabbage
Cut the cabbage in about 1cm wide and 3cm long strips
3/4 cup (175mL) water
Handful (around 30g) green onions
2 eggs
Optional: Meat such as pork slices, chicken, bacon, etc. I find adding a couple slices of cut up bacon in the batter works really well.
For the toppings:
Japanese Mayo
Okonomiyaki sauce
Bonito Flakes (aonori)
Seaweed powder (katsuobushi)
Pickled ginger
This makes around 3 medium sized Okonomiyakis (8 inches diameter).
Instructions
Whisk the 2 eggs in a separate bowl. Season with a dash of black pepper.
Combine all the ingredients (Okonomiyaki flour, cabbage, water, green onions, eggs) for the batter and mix well. If you are adding meat, combine it into the batter as well.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan.
Scoop batter onto the pan. The batter should be around 2 cm high. Spoon additional liquid batter to fill any "cracks".
Cook for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Cook longer if you have added meat.
Top with toppings and enjoy!
Step 2. The Okonomiyaki batter should have this consistency.
Step 4. Place the Okonomiyaki batter onto the pan.
