Monjayaki uses less flour than okonomiyaki, so it’s healthier! You can easily make it delicious at home.

My kids wanted to eat monjayaki, so I researched and combined different ideas.

Steps

1

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients up to the Worcestershire sauce.
2

Roughly chop the cabbage, then mix it with the dried shrimp and any other optional ingredients.
3

Add about 3/4 cup (200ml) of the liquid mixture from step 1 to the bowl with the cabbage and mix well.
4

Heat a griddle or electric skillet with a little oil. Add just the cabbage mixture and sauté until softened.
5

Shape the sautéed mixture into a ring (like a donut) on the griddle, then pour the rest of the liquid mixture into the center. It’s okay if it overflows a bit.
6

When the batter starts bubbling, mix everything together and spread it out. Cook to your preferred doneness and enjoy!
7

Cheese, spicy cod roe (mentaiko), corn, curry powder, mochi, kimchi, cheese-filled fish cake, and more all taste great as add-ins.
8

At our house, we also add the contents of a dashi packet for extra flavor.
9

Leftover curry version: Use a single serving of curry with its ingredients, only add sauce for seasoning, and reduce the water a bit. Instant yakisoba noodles also work well!
