HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, eggs, all-purpose flour, water, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the batter is thick.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

03

Pour half of the cabbage mixture into the skillet, spreading it into a round pancake shape, about 1/2 inch thick.

04

Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

05

Repeat with the remaining cabbage mixture to make a second pancake.

06

Transfer the cooked pancakes to plates.

07

Drizzle each pancake generously with Okonomiyaki sauce and then with mayonnaise.

08

Serve immediately and enjoy your savory breakfast pancakes.

Chef's Tips

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

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute green cabbage with napa cabbage. For a vegetarian option, omit any meat toppings. If you don't have Okonomiyaki sauce, a mix of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup can be a decent substitute.
