Easy Okonomiyaki Recipe - Japanese Savoury Pancakes

bacon slices (sliced, fat & rind removed)

flour / all purpose flour

cornstarch / cornflour

water

dashi powder (dissolved

eggs

onion onion

corn (tinned)

vegetable oil (for cooking)

tbsp kewpie mayonnaise

tbsp okonomiyaki sauce

tsp seaweed flakes / aonori

tsp bonito flakes / katsuobushi

Fry the bacon until cooked through and crispy, then set aside to cool. No need to use oil here, as the bacon will release its own oil as you cook it.

To make the batter, combine the eggs and dashi powder dissolved in the warm water in a small mixing bowl and beat gently. In a separate large mixing bowl add your all purpose flour and cornflour, then pour over with the egg and dashi stock mixture. Stir and combine until smooth.

Next, add the shredded cabbage, half of the spring onion, cooked bacon and corn into the batter mixture. Mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated (but don’t overmix, we want to keep that cabbage nice and fluffy). There shouldn’t be much excess batter liquid at the bottom - if there is, just add a little more chopped cabbage and mix through gently.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add in the vegetable oil and allow to heat up. Scoop out the mixture onto the pan, aiming for a circle shape about 10 cm / 4 inches wide. Cook each pancake for a few mins per side, until lightly browned on both sides.

Serve

Transfer your freshly cooked pancakes to serving plates, then top with drizzles of kewpie mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce. For even better tasting okonomiyaki, top with sprinklings of dried seaweed flakes, bonito flakes and a few slices of green onion to taste. You can also optionally top with the pickled ginger and Japanese 7 spice here.

How to Make Okonomiyaki - Japanese Savoury Pancakes [Easy Homemade Recipe]

Learn how to make authentic Vegan Okonomiyaki at home! Fluffy, chewy &amp; so flavourful! The perfect veggie loaded Japanese savory pancake for any meal. 

Vegan Osaka Okonomiyaki

yamaimo / chinese yam*

kombu seaweed dashi

rice flour

powder,

tsp salt

spring onions, chopped (30 grams)

shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated (60 grams)

cabbage (180 grams)

Japanese Vegan Mayo

Beni shoga

Anori

Okonomiyaki sauce

onions

tbsp ketchup (60 milliliters)

soy sauce (10 milliliters)

brown sugar (12 grams)

Use a peeler to remove skin off the yamaimo and grate into a large mixing bowl. Yamaimo is very slimy and slippery to be careful when using a grater. 

Add in the dashi, rice flour and salt and stir to combine. Add in the green onions, sliced shiitake mushrooms, tenkasu, cabbage and beni shoga and mix until well combined and everything is coated in the batter.

Heat a large pan or griddle on high and grease with oil. Once heated, bring the temperature to medium (400 F / 200 C), add half the batter and spread it into a circle about 2 cm in thickness. If flipping a large pancake intimidates you, make smaller pancakes so it&#8217;s easier to flip. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. 

Once the bottom of the pancake is golden brown, use two turners and flip the pancake. Cover and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat for the next pancake.

To serve, place the pancake on a plate and drizzle with okonomiyaki sauce, Japanese vegan mayo and garnish with green onions, anori (nori) and more beni shoga.

I made this yesterday and it was so good!! First try making okonomiyaki and it was just as good as the ones we had in Japan! I used the silken tofu and skipped the tempura scraps and it was still really good and made the recipe very easy :) Thanks so much for creating this amazing recipe ♥️ 

Just a little note: my boyfriend got confused with “finely chopped” cabbage: He cut it into tiny chunks. Luckily we still had enough cabbage to slice it, but make sure to slice into fine strips instead of chop into chunks 😊
