Easy cabbage pancake (okonomiyaki variation)

Kentaro's cabbage pancake

This is from my favorite cook book "dokanto umai tsumami by Kentaro Kobayashi"  It's easier than okonomiyaki.  The way to use cabbage in the fridge.  Can add variety of meat like sausage, bacon, sliced pork.  Use high heat to brown the pancake.

  • 1/8 cabbage head (chopped small)
  •  Meat (bacon, sausage, sliced pork, etc)
  • 1/2 cup of flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2-3 table spoon water
  • Salt and pepper
  • Japanese tonkatsu sauce (thin usuta- sause or worcestershire sauce)
  • (mayonaise, karashi & shoyu)  -- replacement of usuta- sauce
  1. Start heating pan at medium heat
  2. Chop cabbage relatively small
  3. chop sausage or meat at bite size
  4. Mix flour, egg, water, salt and pepper.  If it looks too thick, add more more table spoon water
  5. When the pan is hot, pour 1/2 tea spoon canola oil.  It's better to spread with a brush to minimizes oil
  6. Pour the batter in the pan and bake 3-4 minutes until brown and turn over and cook 2-3 minutes.  It may be tricky to turn over without breaking.  Use a large plate to turn over. 
*  Can add dashi to the batter.
