Japanese Style Okonomiyaki – Savoury Veggie Cabbage Pancake recipe. Perfect for snack or brunch. Recipe with step by step pictures.
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese style savoury cabbage pancake that can be made in minutes and a big hit after school snack at my place. I make it often at home and its a good way to sneak in the veggies for the kids. Along with the cabbage, I sometimes throw in shredded carrots, leftover meat and veggies. The spicy mayo goes so well with the pancake and I am sure one cannot stop with one. I adapted the recipe from here.
Here is how to do Okonomiyaki
For the pancake
Take a bowl and add in two eggs, water and soy sauce.
Add in the sesame oil, black pepper and flour.
Whisk well to combine.
Add in the finely chopped cabbage and spring onions. Whisk well to combine. I have not added any salt as the soy sauce itself is salty. If you like your pancakes salty, add in half a teaspoon of salt at this stage.
If the batter is very thick, add in some water to dilute. Heat a skillet and add in a teaspoon of oil.
Add in a big ladle of the okonomiyaki batter and spread with a spatula.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for two-three minutes on medium flame.
Once the bottom of the pancake is brown, flip.
Press the pancake and let it cook the other side for couple of minutes more. Okonomiyaki pancakes are ready.
For the sauce
Mix in the Mayo, soy sauce, ketchup and hot sauce in a small bowl.
Transfer the mayo to a small zip bag and cut the end of the bag.
Spread the spicy mayo on the pancake. Finish off with a generous sprinkle of spring onion and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve hot.

Hi,
I am allergic to egg, please can you tell what is the substitute for eggs in this recipe.
This recipe needs the eggs for the texture. You may omit the eggs and add water but the batter will be dense.
Hi, May i use wheat flour or ny other flour in place of Maida.
I have not tried with wheat or any other flour.
