Savory, sweet, and smoky Japanese pancakes, okonomiyaki, perfect for any mealtime cravings.
Ingredients:
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
  • 500ml (2 cups) water
  • 300g pork mince
  • 6 eggs
  • 250g green cabbage, hard core removed, finely shredded
  • 4 shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 27.60 gm vegetable oil
  • Worcestershire sauce, to serve
  • Japanese-style mayonnaise (such as Kewpie), to serve
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, create a well in the center of the flour. Slowly whisk in the water until a smooth mixture forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the mince, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until browned, for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Combine the eggs with the batter and whisk. Mix in the cabbage and shallot.
  • In a 22cm non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 teaspoon of oil. Add 80ml (1/3 cup) of batter and swirl to coat the base. Sprinkle with one-sixth of the mince mixture and cook until the pancake is golden underneath, about 3 minutes.
  • Gently flip the pancake and cook for 2 more minutes until it becomes golden brown. Place it on a serving plate. Repeat this process 5 more times with the remaining oil, batter, and minced mixture, making sure to reheat the pan between each batch.
  • Pour a generous amount of Worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise over the pancakes and present them for serving.
