Ingredients
- 2 cups cabbage
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons okonomiyaki sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons bonito flakes (optional)
- 2 teaspoons nori (seaweed flakes, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Shred the cabbage into thin strips and finely chop the green onions. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, water, eggs, and soy sauce to form a smooth batter.
Step 3
Fold the shredded cabbage and green onions into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the batter mixture onto the pan to form small, mini-sized pancakes. Repeat, leaving space between each pancake.

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until the edges begin to set and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the mini pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil as needed.
Step 8
Drizzle the cooked okonomiyaki with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise in a crisscross pattern.
