Okonomiyaki

Full of delicious veggies.

A popular street food in Japan, okonomiyaki is a savoury pancake served with an okonomiyaki sauce packed with a sweet, smoky umami flavour. These are delicious, full of flavour and texture!

Step 1

For the okonomiyaki sauce, whisk together tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, honey and dark soy sauce in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.

Step 2

To make the okonomiyaki batter, whisk together eggs, flour, salt, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil until smooth.

Step 3

Fold the spring onions and cabbage into the batter until everything is well coated.

Step 4

Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large frying pan over a medium–high heat until shimmering. Line a warmed plate with a couple of sheets of kitchen paper.

Step 5

Spoon some of the cabbage mixture into the pan into pancake shapes that are about the size of your palm. Press down with the back of the spoon and fry until golden-brown on each side, flipping halfway. Transfer the pancakes to the kitchen paper to drain.
