A delightful fusion of flavors capturing the essence of Japanese comfort food, Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake filled with crispy cabbage, shrimp, and delicious sauces.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced savoy or napa cabbage
  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup dashi or water
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped (about 3/4 lb.)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup Okonomiyaki sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
  • 2 tablespoons Furikake seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons bonito flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, and green onions. Toss them together until mixed well.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, dashi (or water), salt, and ground white pepper until well-blended.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the cabbage mixture, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly.
  4. Gently fold the chopped shrimp into the batter, ensuring it’s well-distributed throughout.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the oil covers the entire surface.
  6. Once hot, pour the entire mixture into the pan. Allow it to cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, letting the pancake set mostly.
  7. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, until it’s golden brown and fully cooked.
  8. Transfer the pancake to a large plate and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  9. Drizzle with Okonomiyaki sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise. Sprinkle with Furikake and bonito flakes if desired.
  10. Cut into wedges and serve!
