Steps

1

To make the batter: Finely chop the cabbage into 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces.
2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, dashi powder, and cabbage. Mix well with chopsticks.
3

Add the water and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl and mix.
4

Roughly chop the dried squid and pickled red ginger. Add them and the tempura bits to the batter. The basic batter is now ready!
5

To cook: Preheat an electric griddle to 400°F (200°C) and spread 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil evenly over the surface.
6

Scoop just the solid ingredients from the batter and stir-fry them on the griddle.
7

Once the ingredients are cooked and softened, shape them into a ring, leaving a well in the center.
8

Pour the remaining liquid batter into the center of the ring.
9

When the batter in the center turns translucent and thickens, mix everything together and spread it out thinly.
10

Sprinkle Baby Star ramen snacks over the top.
11

When the bottom is slightly crispy and browned, it's ready to eat!
