Fluffy Kansai-style Okonomiyaki with Cabbage and Nagaimo Yam
- 200 grams Cabbage
- 100 grams Thinly sliced pork belly
- 2 medium Eggs
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Tempura crumbs
- 1 tbsp Sakura shrimp
- 1 pinch Red-coloured pickled ginger
- 80 grams Cake flour
- 160 grams Grated nagaimo yam
- 1 tsp Bonito dashi stock granules or powdered bonito
- 1/2 tsp Usukuchi soy sauce
- 1 Okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori, bonito flakes
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk with chopsticks until sticky.
- Let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes if you have time.
- Roughly shred the cabbage (about 5 cm long x 4-5 mm wide).
- Cut the thinly sliced pork belly into halves.
- Add cabbage, eggs, tempura crumbs, sakura shrimp, and pickled red ginger.
- Mix from the bottom using a big spoon to incorporate as much air as possible.
- Heat a little oil in a pan over medium-low heat and drop the batter on the pan without flattening it.
- Form a round shape and place the meat on top.
- Cook slowly.
- After you flip it over, do not press down on it and turn up the heat gradually.
- Cook until the meat is crisp.
- Flip it over again and cook over medium heat to crisp the surface of the okonomiyaki.
- I usually cook 2 okonomiyaki at the same time.
- I recommend you use an electric griddle heated to 230C and cook 3 okonomiyaki at the same time!
- To finish, squirt Japanese-style Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, aonori dried powdered seaweed, and bonito flakes on top.
