HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, water, and dashi powder until a smooth batter forms.

02

Add the shredded cabbage and chicken pieces to the batter. Mix gently until everything is well combined.

03

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the batter mixture into the skillet, shaping it into a round pancake about 6-7 inches in diameter.

04

Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

05

Remove the cooked okonomiyaki from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter to make the second pancake.

06

Once both pancakes are cooked, drizzle generously with Okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise.

07

Garnish with katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt and pepper to the batter. Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the batter to get a nice crispy exterior.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute chicken with shrimp, pork belly, or omit meat for a vegetarian version. Regular mayonnaise can be used in place of Japanese mayonnaise, though the flavor will be slightly different. A homemade Okonomiyaki sauce can be made with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar.
