Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, add all the ☆ ingredients in this order: flour, dashi stock powder, tempura bits, egg, and water.
- 2
Mix roughly.
If making 4 pancakes, use about 1/4 of a cabbage. More cabbage is definitely tastier! Our lonely cabbage.
- 3
Chop the cabbage coarsely.
We use the top of the cabbage for stir-fry and the bottom for okonomiyaki. The core is delicious too. - 4
Add the cabbage!
Add the mochi, cut into pieces about half the size of a sugar cube.
Mix roughly again. The photo shows a double batch for 4 pancakes. - 5
Set the griddle to about 340°F (170°C). Once heated, add some oil and spread it with a spatula.
- 6
Pour the batter and spread it into a circle using the bottom of a ladle.
- 7
Place the pork belly slices on top.
- 8
When the batter turns golden brown, flip it over!
Ignore the oil coming from the pork belly. - 9
When the pork belly is crispy, flip it again to let the batter absorb the pork oil.
Make the batter crispy too. - 10
Flip it again so the pork side is down, and top with sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes in that order!
- 11
It's done!
- 12
Note: If the cabbage is large, it might be too much. A little extra is just right!

An okonomiyaki fan taught me this recipe. If you use onions, Awaji Island or Hokkaido onions are great. Crispy and sweetly spicy okonomiyaki sauce is also a good match. Great while drinking a beer or Highball.- The amount of water differs from the instructions on the okonomiyaki flour package, but the onions will release water, so there's enough!- You can add a second egg to the batter if you wish.
