Ingredients
Base:
1 cup flour
3/4 cup dashi (or water, see below)*
1 egg
1/8-1/4 of a cabbage
Toppings - any of the following:
Chicken, roast pork or beef
Squid, Octopus, other seafood
Corn
Mushrooms
Onion
Garnishing - any of the following
Katsuo-bushi (dried bonito flakes)
Sakura-ebi (dried shrimps)
Beni-shoga (red ginger)
Ao-nori (green seaweed)
Sauces:
Okonomiyaki sauce (or tonkatsu sauce)
Mayonnaise
Step 1:
So firstly grab that cabbage and chop it up finely. Better to have too much than too little because it shrinks a little as it cooks, and it's mega cheap anyway. Get out as much of the white stem parts as you can.
Step 2:
Now break an egg into a large bowl and pour in the dashi/water, and the flour.
Step 3:
Then beat with a whisk until smooth.
Step 4:
Now add some of the finely chopped cabbage and mix as best you can.
Step 5:
Heat up your skillet,
Step 6:
Now prepare your toppings.
Step 7:
Throw it all in the frypan with some oil (sesame is good) to keep it all well-lubed. Cook until either heated through or in the case of raw meat or veges, for a few minutes until it's getting close to being cooked.
Step 8:
Arrange the nearly cooked toppings in a round...
Step 9:
Then throw the cabbage/dough mixture on top, also in a round!
Step 10:
Turn up the heat a little to medium and let that bad boy cook through for 5 minutes or so. Then flip it. In the picture below, I had to cut the round in half to flip it, which doesn't matter because we'll be cutting it into pieces later anyway. You could always make two okonomiyaki instead!
Let it cook for another 5-10 minutes. You can break away a bit of the dough bit when it doesn't look raw any more and see if the cabbage and dough is cooked through.
Step 11:
Flip it out onto a plate and cover liberally with Okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise! OH GOD MY TASTEBUDS!
Step 12:
Cut, serve and savour! Bon apetit.
