Ingredients
- 100 g wheat flour
- 120 ml water
- 1 egg
- 300 g white cabbages (Finely chopped)
- 100 g shiitake (Sliced)
- 4 spring onions (finely chopped)
- 50 g panko breadcrumbs
- 100 g cooked prawn (Finely chopped or diced pork)
- peanut oil
- okonomiyaki sauce
- kewpie (Or regular mayonnaise)
- aonori (Dried seaweed, optional)
- katsuobushi (Dried bonito flakes, optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut 300 g white cabbages into strips. Slice 100 g shiitake and cut 4 spring onions into rings. Brush a hot frying pan with a little oil and toast the 50 g panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix 100 g wheat flour, 120 ml water, and 1 egg until smooth. Add the finely chopped cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and spring onions to the batter. Mix well so everything is well coated with the batter.
- Add 100 g cooked prawn and the panko, and mix well
Cooking
- Heat some peanut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Scoop a quarter of the batter into the pan and shape it into a round, flat pancake about 1.5 cm thick. Fry the okonomiyaki for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
To serve
- Place the okonomiyaki on a plate, brush with okonomiyaki sauce and kewpie.
- Sprinkle with aonori and katsuobushi, if you are using them.
Notes
Okonomiyaki is true Japanese warming dish. You can fill it with whatever you like - bacon, prawn, or just vegetables - and then slowly cook it in the pan. With the sauce and mayo on top, you immediately taste that Osaka street food vibe, cozy and full of flavour.
