Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and scallions. Add the flour, water, eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined and the vegetables are evenly coated in the batter.
-
Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spoon a portion of the vegetable mixture onto the skillet, shaping it into a pancake about 1/2 inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the okonomiyaki is cooked through and crispy on both sides, transfer it to a plate. Drizzle generously with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise.
-
If desired, top the okonomiyaki with a sprinkle of bonito flakes and nori strips for an extra touch of umami flavor.
-
Serve the Vegetarian Okonomiyaki hot, cut into slices like a pizza. Enjoy the delicious blend of textures and flavors in each bite!
