Okonomyaki Vegetable Pancakes
I’ve been longing for this recipe. I’m a weekly visitor to Sushi Sushi and they have an amazing vegetable pancake there topped with Japanese mayo but its so so oily, so I decided to create a healthier version.
This recipe wasn’t even given any critique by my super fussy eater. He gobbled it down first on his plate and also polished off 3 in his lunchbox the following day. I just had to share it.
Makes 12 – 15 pancakes.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 80 g plain or GF flour (~ 1/2 cup) or GF flour
- 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp pureed ginger
- Black pepper
- 120 g finely shredded green cabbage (~ 2 cups)
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Finely sliced nori sheet
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Sesame seeds
- 1/8 cup oil (for frying)
- For serving: Japanese mayonnaise and some pickled ginger
Method
Combine everything except sesame seeds and oil in a large bowl and mix well.
Allow to stand for 2 minutes whilst the oil is heating.
Place a 1/8 cup of oil into a 20cm fry pan and shallow fry.
Spoon a tablespoon of mixture into hot oil and spread our into a disk of around 10-12cms, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Flip when golden and crispy on one side. Top with Japanese mayonnaise and pickled ginger, consume and enjoy!
