Begin by preparing your ingredients. Core and finely shred the cabbage to make approximately 2 cups. Peel and grate the carrot, and, thinly slice the green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and water until smooth. Add the eggs, salt, and pepper, and mix well to combine.
Fold in the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced green onions into the batter. Ensure the vegetables are well coated.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pour half of the batter mixture into the skillet, spreading it into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.
Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the pancake and cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make a second pancake, adding more oil if necessary.
Once cooked, transfer the okonomiyaki to a serving plate. Drizzle okonomi sauce generously on top.
Finely slice the nori sheet into thin strips and sprinkle over the pancakes. Top with pickled ginger.
Serve hot, enjoy your Dairy-Free Okonomiyaki!
