Savory Cabbage and Mushroom Pancakes with Pork and Shrimp

• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage (1/2 small head)
• 3 shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon drained pickled ginger, preferably red, plus more for garnish
• 1 tablespoon bonito flakes, plus more for garnish
• 1/4 pound pork tenderloin, sliced crosswise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
• 1/4 pound small shrimp, shelled and deveined
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Nori flakes, for garnish
• Mayonnaise, for serving

1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour into the eggs until a smooth batter forms.
2. Add the shredded cabbage, sliced shiitake, 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon each of the pickled ginger and bonito flakes.
3. Mix until thoroughly combined.
4. In a small bowl, combine the pork and shrimp and season lightly with salt and pepper.
5. In a small saucepan, whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup.
6. Bring the sauce just to a boil, then simmer over moderately low heat until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
8. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil.
9. Stir the pancake mixture.
10. Spoon four 1-cup portions of the pancake mixture into the skillet and flatten each into a 5-inch pancake about 1/2 inch thick.
11. Cook the pancakes over moderate heat until they are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes.
12. If the pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly.
13. Make a slight indentation in the top of each pancake and top each of them with one-fourth of the pork and shrimp, pressing down slightly.
14. Carefully turn the pancakes over; if necessary, use two spatulas to hold the pancakes together.
15. Cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on the second side and the pork and shrimp are cooked through, about 6 minutes.
16. Transfer the pancakes to a platter, pork and shrimp side up.
17. Brush the pancakes with some of the sauce and top each of them with a little pickled ginger and some bonito and nori flakes.
18. Serve the pancakes hot, with the remaining sauce and mayonnaise on the side.
