Okonomiyaki-style Chinese Cabbage Omelette

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. Recipe by Shijimi24

Cooking Instructions
- 1
This omelette is delicious even without bonito flakes. If you stir-fry the cabbage before cooking, it'll wilt and soften. This means that the okonomiyaki will lose its crunch.
- 2
Chop the Chinese cabbage up into 1 cm pieces and slice the sausage into whatever size you prefer.
- 3
Combine the sausage and cabbage with the beaten egg. If the pieces of cabbage are too big, the mixture will be difficult to mix.
- 4
Cook the omelette in a frying pan that has been greased with a thin layer of oil. Allow the omelette to cook slowly without interfering.
- 5
Once one side is cooked, flip the omelette over. You can cover the pan with a lid if you like, but the omelette will turn out just fine without it.
- 6
Slide the omelette onto a plate and pour over some mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce to serve.
- 7
If you have them, decorate the omelette with bonito flakes and red pickled ginger. It'll make the omelette look even more similar to okonomiyaki.

Japanese Omelette with Okonomiyaki Sauce (お好み焼きオムレツ) Japanese Omelette with Okonomiyaki Sauce (お好み焼きオムレツ)
おはよう友達 ! That means good morning friends in Japanese. I (Gianni) am currently fully embracing my inner otaku by learning to speak, read and write in Japanese. This recipe is an homage to the Japanese “omeretsu” which is actually an homage to the standard American omelette. Inception, or should I say omelette-ception. I’ll stop.This recipe is also the first installment of a segment I like to call:Gourmet Versions of Things I Saw My Roommates Cook in CollegeThis one is inspired by my former roommate and one of my best friends, Caleb Rittler. In college, I watched Cal make the same breakfast every day. A two egg omelette. Pretty standard. He would then slather/glaze the omelette in a thick layer of ketchup. Disgusting, I know. But then again, I’ve never really been a ketchup and eggs person… Or so I thought…Flash forward a few years and I’m getting bored with standard breakfast fare and trying to find some more creative recipes to break the fast. I stumble upon a video of a Japanese chef effortlessly whipping up a beautifully fluffy omelette over fried rice and drizzling it with a dark, savory sauce. I had to try it!The creamy, custard like omelette, the nutty toasted fried rice, the tangy, umami-packed okonomiyaki sauce.Cal, if you’re reading this, おはよう友達 which means I am deeply, and respectfully sorry. I will no longer be a ketchup on eggs hater, but I will try to make it a little more “extra.” Meals with the Massaros -

With Chinese Cabbage?! Jumbo Okonomiyaki With Chinese Cabbage?! Jumbo Okonomiyaki
I had an awkward amount of Chinese cabbage left over in my refrigerator since it's wintertime... I made this because I was curious what it would taste like. My kids were none the wiser .I always make jumbo okonomiyaki. When flipping it over, I wear oven mitts, unplug the electric griddle, cover the griddle with a lid, and flip the entire thing over. I then set the flipped okonomiyaki to the side for a minute, plug the griddleback in, and slide the okonomiyaki back to the griddle. For 2 people. Recipe by Mamimeron cookpad.japan -
Fluffy Okonomiyaki with just Cabbage and Eggs! Fluffy Okonomiyaki with just Cabbage and Eggs!
I didn't have many ingredients or time so I tried making okonomiyaki with just eggs! And it was tastier than I expected.The trick to fluffy eggs is the ratio of eggs to cabbage. If you feel like asking yourself "is this too much cabbage!?" that is the right ratio. Do not worry because the cabbage will shrink. If there's too much egg it won't be okonomiyaki, either, so be careful! The sauce and the mayonnaise are the finishing touches. Recipe by Kuromam cookpad.japan -

Okonomiyaki with Lots of Spring Cabbage Okonomiyaki with Lots of Spring Cabbage
This is a regular dish in my house.Step 3: You can cook half the batter at a time (In that case, use 3 eggs).Step 4: If it's too difficult to flip over, cook the egg in a different pan and put that on top of the okonomiyaki.Step 5: Make about 5 shallow cuts on the surface of the okonomiyaki with a spatula to let out the steam.You can also use 1/2 teaspoon Japanese soup stock + water instead if you'd prefer.

Okonomiyaki with Lots of Cabbage Okonomiyaki with Lots of Cabbage
In Kansai, the cabbage is the star of an okonomiyaki pancake, and the batter just holds it together. The batter is not the star. It's kind of like a cabbage pancake, with a crispy surface and a light and fluffy inside. I think a simple okonomiyaki with just squid and pork tastes the best.1. Use as little batter as possible, just enough to hold the cabbage together.2. Cover the pan with a lid to cook through. For about 6 pancakes. Recipe by kei57 cookpad.japan -
