Okonomiyaki (Japanese Savoury Pancake)
Ingredients
125g (4.4oz) plain flour
½ tbsp baking powder
½ tbsp baking soda
40g (1.4oz) cornflour (cornstarch)
175ml (¾ cup) dashi stock
1 egg
100g (3.5oz) pork belly, skin removed and sliced thinly
⅛ green cabbage, finely shredded
2 tbsp pickled ginger, diced
100ml (⅓ cup) okonomiyaki sauce
100ml (⅓ cup) Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie)
handful of bonito flakes
2 spring onions, finely sliced
ground nori (seaweed flakes)
salt, to taste
oil, for frying
Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cornflour.
Make a well in the centre and add the egg and dashi stock. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, season the shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt and set aside for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Add the white parts of the sliced spring onions to the batter, setting the green tops aside for garnish.
Squeeze out any excess moisture from the cabbage, then stir it into the batter along with the pickled ginger.
Heat a cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil.
Add the sliced pork belly and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden.
Pour the batter over the pork belly, spreading it evenly across the pan.
Cook for 4–5 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 4–5 minutes until fully cooked through and golden brown.
Transfer to a plate and drizzle with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayo. Garnish with bonito flakes, nori flakes, spring onion greens, and extra pickled ginger.

Can we get this Hiroshima style?
I thought her name is babe
I never seen you make polish food
I haven't had okonomiyaki in yearssssss 😢
Nice one! I recommend you try one with more cabbage and less flower, like using only one table spoon and no water.
You should make Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki next!! Even more delicious in my opinion 😀
That batter to cabbage ratio seems a lot wetter than most Okonomiyaki I've had in the past.
know what I'm sayin' legendary not for the late loss
lol you’re still using the cabbage thing
I find if you mute the sound on these shorts, they get 1000% better, as you dont get the misplaced noises
But it's not Caitlin from Degrassi Junior High, is it.
"Hey babe – want you want for lunch?" … No answer….
That’s the most elegant okonomiyaki I’ve ever seen
Wait babe has a name or are you cheating?!?! Who's Katelyn.!?! Lmao
Who is Katelyn? Where's Babe, Andy??
(Shakes head in disappointment) Basic Andy…
That's babe's name!? Thank god other babe gets to cook for himself!
What I love most about these videos is the showcase of how chefs actually think. It has nothing to do with training or specific knowledge and everything to do with understanding your tools. Need a wedge of lettuce shredded ? You could definitely do it with a knife no problem but knowing a graters edge will bite into it without an issue and give you effortless thin slices is the real knowledge check.
