Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, flour, baking powder, salt, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped bell peppers.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, eggs, and water until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the tofu and vegetable mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated and the batter comes together. It should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter. Add a bit more water if needed.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, ladle a portion of the batter into the skillet, shaping it into a round pancake about 1/2 inch thick. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
-
Serve the Tofu and Veggie Okonomiyaki warm, drizzled with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise. Sprinkle with bonito flakes and torn nori seaweed for an extra touch of umami flavor.
