Steps

1

Shred the cabbage and thinly slice the green onions.
2

Mix the ingredients marked with ◯ (flour, dashi powder, egg, water, tempura bits) together. Add the cabbage and green onions, and mix until just combined.
3

Heat a frying pan and add oil. Spread the batter in the pan and start cooking.
4

Place the pork slices on top. When the bottom is golden brown, flip it over.
5

Cover with a lid and cook until the inside is fluffy and cooked through.
6

When the pork is crispy, flip it again to let the pancake absorb the pork fat.
7

Top with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and aonori to finish.
8

(Optional) For a decorative finish, drizzle plenty of sauce and draw parallel lines of mayonnaise. Drag a toothpick in one direction to create a pretty pattern.
