Ingredients
OKONOMIYAKI
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup water
- 1½ teaspoons okonomiyaki spice mix
- 1 cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cabbage
- 2 spring onions, white and pale green part only
JAPANESE SLAW
- 1 capsicum
- 1 baby bok choy, end trimmed 1cm, rinsed and leaves separated
- 1 carrot
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g. white wine, rice wine, cider)
TO SERVE
- 1 spring onion, white and pale green part only
- 60g okonomiyaki sauce
- 50g Japanese mayo
- 25g pickled ginger (optional)
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
-
Whisk eggs and water together in a large bowl. Gradually add in okonomiyaki spice mix, flour and salt, whisking as you go to avoid any lumps, until you have a smooth batter. Season with pepper and set aside in the fridge for at least 10 minutes, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
-
Remove core and seeds from capsicum and thinly slice; thinly slice bok choy; peel and grate carrot. Add all to a large bowl, along with mayonnaise, sesame oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss to combine and set aside.
-
Thinly slice cabbage until you have about 6 cups worth and thinly slice first measure of spring onions. Add both to bowl with batter and mix to combine. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on a medium heat.
-
Scoop ¹/3 of the batter into the pan and spread out until approximately 2cm-thick. Cook for about 3 minutes each side, until golden. Repeat two more times with remaining batter. Transfer cooked pancakes to prepared tray and bake for 5-6 minutes, until cooked through.
-
While pancakes bake, thinly slice second measure of spring onions.
-
divide okonomiyaki between plates. Drizzle over okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayo. Sprinkle over remaining spring onions and pickled ginger (if using). Serve Japanese slaw on the side.
