Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
- 0.5 cup shredded carrot
- 3 pieces scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup vegan mayo
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (vegan)
- 1 sheet nori sheet, cut into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the water and soy sauce to the dry ingredients while stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Fold the shredded cabbage, carrot, and two-thirds of the scallions into the batter until well combined.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Spoon half of the batter into the pan, spreading it into an even circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake starts to firm up.
Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancake from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
To make the topping sauce, mix vegan mayo, ketchup, and vegan Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the sauce over the pancakes and garnish with the remaining scallions and nori strips.
Serve the okonomiyaki warm, with extra sauce on the side if desired.
