Okonomiyaki, or Japanese cabbage pancakes, are my favorite clean-out-the-crisper-drawer dinner recipe. Add whatever vegetables you have on hand to sweet white cabbage, fluffy eggs, and a bit of flour. Cook them on the stovetop, and you’ve got a veggie-packed dinner ready in minutes!

Okonomiyaki (Japanese Cabbage Pancakes)

cabbage

carrot (grated)

onion

soy sauce (I love Braggs)

sesame oil

all-purpose flour

oil notes)

mayonnaise (for serving)

Strain

Place the shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion into a colander or mesh strainer, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine, and let it sit while you are preparing the batter.

Whisk

In a large bowl, combine eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, and flour. Whisk into a smooth batter.

Add the cabbage, carrot, and onion to the batter and stir to combine.

Heat

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of neutral-flavoured cooking oil, along with a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil for flavour.

Now you have options!

Cook

To make one large okonomiyaki, pour all of the batter into the hot skillet at once. Use a spatula to smooth out the top. Wait about 5 minutes, then carefully lift one side with a spatula to check the bottom. If it&#39;s golden brown, carefully slide the pancake onto a large plate. Invert the skillet over the plate and turn everything back over to flip the pancake. Cook for about 5 min more on the second side. Slide the cooked pancake onto a cutting board and let rest for about 1 minute before slicing into wedges.

To make two medium-sized okonomiyaki, use the same process as above, but this time only pour half of the batter into the hot skillet. You will need to repeat this process twice.

To make mini okonomiyaki, drop 1/4 cup scoops of batter into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more on the second side.

Just made these and they’re sooo good. Easy too!

This was a great way to use my abundance of cabbage. My husband and I both enjoyed them. And they come together quickly once the cabbage and carrots are shredded.

It seems kind of like a frittata. A good way to use whatever vegetables are on hand. Thanks for sharing.
