Ingredients

To make the vegetarian okonomiyaki:

  • 4 eggs
  • 80 g plain flour (~ 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp pureed ginger
  • Black pepper
  • 120 g finely shredded green cabbage (~ 2 cups)
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp oil

To serve:

  • Mayonnaise or salad cream
  • Sriracha
  • Chopped spring onions

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, and add the plain flour. Whisk together to form the pancake batter. Add the soy sauce, pureed ginger, and plenty of black pepper, then add the finely shredded cabbage, carrot and spring onions. Mix well to combine.
