I have not stepped into the supermarket for more than a week now and had to make do with what's left behind in the fridge. With only potatoes, carrots and some left over cabbage in the kitchen, I couldn't think of a more ideal time to make an okonomiyak for dinner! An okonomiyaki is a typical Japanese pancake made using whatever ingredients you have or would like to include! Seafood, meat, mushroom, vegetables, you name it. What I have here is a super simple vegetarian version but please feel free to experiment, appropriately of course!
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups flour
1/2 head round cabbage, shredded
1 large carrot, shredded
1 large potato, shredded
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 to 2 cups water
Japanese mayonnaise to taste
Worchestershire sauce to taste
Method:
Mix all ingredients together. Heat the Happy Call Pan on high heat for a minute.
Pour in the mixed batter and close the lid, locking it.
Unlock the lid, leaving the lid partially open. Cook for another 8 minutes.
Close and lock the lid again, flipping the pan over.
Unlock the lid and leave the lid partially open. Pan fry for another 10 minutes.
Cut into pieces and serve with Japanese mayonnaise and Worchestershire sauce to taste.
