A delicious okonomiyaki made with onions, without using eggs or cabbage. Cook it thick in a small frying pan for a hearty meal.Recipe BackgroundCabbage is still a luxury item, so I thought of using Chinese cabbage instead, but was surprised to find it even more expensive. So, I made okonomiyaki with onions, which are always on hand and affordable, and the leftover green parts of scallions.

I don't know how many times I've altered recipes to make the best okonomiyaki for my husband who's a huge fan... I've changed around the amount of batter, how to cut the cabbage and what to use for seasonings...I finally settled down on this recipe, because my husband told me that this was delicious.-To keep the moisture of the cabbage from mixing with the batter, roughly julienne the cabbage into thin but short matchstick-like pieces.-Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on thinly sliced pork belly. Wipe away excess oil that seeps out from the meat with paper towels.-Cook slowly so that you can enjoy the natural sweetness of the cabbage.-Yamaimo yams make the batter too sticky, so use nagaimo yam, which contains more moisture.

I had half of a nagaimo yam and cabbage that had been sitting in my fridge for a long time. Basically, I could use just these ingredients for a late-night snack; it is simple and light, and is really filling! This is the perfect recipe. More than anything, I can't get enough of the fluffiness.A sign that it has finished cooking is that it will plump up all over. It is soft and fluffy when it is done cooking . It will still be soft, so please take care when transferring to a plate. The tempura flour has eggs mixed into it, so this is great for holding everything together. Simple is best instead of preparing everything! For about 15 cm [5.9 in]-diamater okonomiyaki pancake. Recipe by Shinyori-na

I wanted to use up a bit of the huge shipment of Chinese cabbage that I was gifted.At first I was using it in stew, then I made mapo-style Chinese cabbage, and then I decided on something similar to okonomiyaki!It's better to use fresh cabbage in the omelette, rather than stir-frying it beforehand. This will give you a crunchier texture.Originally I thought that it would be better to stir-fry the cabbage first to prevent any excess moisture, but actually it had the opposite effect and I ended up with a messy omelette.

My husband, who's from Osaka, would always make these okonomiyaki without measuring the ingredients; but since I also wanted to make them, I put this recipe together.What makes this recipe unique is the juicy pork, which is lightly sautéed before adding to the batter.
