Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, flour, baking powder, salt, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped bell peppers.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, eggs, and water until well combined.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

  6. 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.

  7. Enjoy your homemade Tofu and Veggie Okonomiyaki as a satisfying and wholesome meal any time of the day!
