    Okonomiyaki Recipe (Japanese Pancakes) step 1
  • In a small bowl lightly beat the eggs.
  • Add the beaten eggs to the cabbage mixture and combine well.
  • Once the cabbage mixture is combined, let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil on MEDIUM in a nonstick skillet. Scoop the cabbage mixture into the skillet and flatten gently with a spatula, until the mixture is about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Cook the okonomiyaki for about 3 minutes a side, or until browned. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Top with sesame seeds and nori. Serve hot, with a side of mayonnaise.

Notes

  • Don't skimp on the cabbage if you that quintessential crunch and unique texture.
  • Crack the eggs separately to avoid any rogue eggshells ruining your batter.
  • Stir your mixture just until the ingredients are combined. Don't overmix.
