Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Plain flour
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 100ml Water
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ Green cabbage (Finely sliced)
  • 2 Spring onion (Chopped into rings)
  • Oil (For frying)
  • Kewpie Mayo
  • Okonomiyaki sauce
  • Furikake

Instructions
 

  • To begin, add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl and give it a quick whisk so everything is evenly distributed. Then do the same with wet ingredients by whisking your egg and water together. 
  • Pour your egg mixture into your dry ingredients and stir to combine. It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth. You're better off having a few lumps of flour than overmixing your batter. 
  • Finely shave the cabbage and chop up your spring onion into rings.
  • Add all of your vegetables to you pancake mix and stir until everything is thoroughly coated in batter. You want the batter to be majority filling that is just held together with batter. 
  • Heat around 1 tbsp of a neutral oil (veg, canola, rice bran etc) in a medium frypan over a medium heat. Drop in around 1/3 cup of batter, depending on the size you want. You can make mini ones, or opt for one large one and cut it up. Your batter should only be a couple of centimetres thick, so spread it out if you need to. 
  • Cook on one side for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crispy on the underside. Carefully flip it over, adding more oil if you need to, and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side. 
  • It should be thoroughly cooked in the middle after this time, but if you'd like to check, insert a skewer into the centre and if it comes out clean, it's done. If your skewer comes out with wet batter still on it, finish it off in the oven at 180˚C for 5-10 minutes. 
  • Transfer it to a plate and smother it with Okonomiyaki sauce, Kewpie mayo, Furikake and more spring onions.
