Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cabbage
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons okonomiyaki sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons bonito flakes (optional)
- 2 teaspoons nori (seaweed flakes, optional)
Instructions
Shred the cabbage into thin strips and finely chop the green onions. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, water, eggs, and soy sauce to form a smooth batter.
Fold the shredded cabbage and green onions into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the batter mixture onto the pan to form small, mini-sized pancakes. Repeat, leaving space between each pancake.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until the edges begin to set and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the mini pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil as needed.
Drizzle the cooked okonomiyaki with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise in a crisscross pattern.
Top with bonito flakes and a sprinkle of nori, if desired, for an authentic finishing touch.
Serve warm and enjoy your Lazy Mini Okonomiyaki!
