Our Family's Recipe For Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki with Tofu
- 500 grams Okonomiyaki flour
- 250 grams Tofu (silken)
- 5 Eggs
- 500 ml Water
- 5 grams Dashi stock granules
- 400 grams Thinly sliced pork
- 1/2 to 2/3 of a head Cabbage (roughly chopped)
- 100 grams Tenkasu (tempura batter crumbs)
- 1 Red pickled ginger
- 50 grams Green onions (chopped)
- 1 Okonomiyaki sauce
- 1 Aonori, bonito flakes
- Put tofu into a bowl and mash with a whisk.
- Add the okonomiyaki flour, water, and egg, and mix well.
- Rest for a while in the refrigerator.
- Chop up the cabbage roughly.
- Squeeze out well to remove excess moisture.
- Chop up the green onions also.
- Preheat an electric griddle to 390F/200C.
- Put 1 serving (about 80g) of the batter into a small bowl with about 120 g of chopped cabbage, a little tenkasu, green onion, and red pickled ginger.
- It will taste better if you have more cabbage than batter.
- Mix with a spoon to incorporate air into the batter.
- Do this one pancake serving at a time.
- The key to a soft, airy fluffy okonomiyaki is to mix up the batter and vegetable while incorporating air just before cooking.
- Pour the batter onto the electric griddle.
- Use the edge of the spoon to gently spread the pancake out so that it's about 2 cm thick.
- Cook for about 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, spread 3 slices of pork on top.
- When the edges of the pan cake start to dry out, flip the pancake over.
- Don't press down on the pancake after flipping.
- If you do so, the pancake will become flat and lose its light airiness.
- Only use the spatula to neaten the edges.
- After about 4 minutes, flip the pancake over again and cook for another 3 minutes or so.
- Put on okonomiyaki sauce, ao-nori seaweed powder, and bonito flakes, and it's done.
