Okonomiyaki (Savoury Cabbage Pancakes)

Pancake

• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 cup water
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup plain flour
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 4 cups finely shredded cabbage
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• ¼ cup grapeseed oil
• 1 cup prawn tails, peeled and deveined, roughly chopped
• 100g thick-cut bacon, cut into 2.5cm pieces

Okonomiyaki Sauce

• ¼ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 ½ tbsp caster sugar

To Garnish

• Okonomiyaki sauce (above)
• Kewpie mayonnaise
• Crumbled nori, to garnish
• Bonito flakes, to garnish
• Spring onion, sliced, to garnish

Method

1. For the okonomiyaki sauce heat the ingredients in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves, stirring.
2. Put all the okonomiyaki ingredients except the bacon in a large bowl and mix well.
3. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add half of the oil. When the oil shimmers, ladle about 1/4 of the batter into the skillet, shaping into a large, thick pancake. Layer several pieces of bacon on top.
4. Cook over medium-low until the pancake is browned and set on one side. This will take around 7 or 8 minutes. Flip, and cook on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. Serve, second side up, with okonomiyaki sauce, a drizzle of mayo, the nori, bonito flakes and spring onion.
