Okonomiyaki is known as a kind of Japanese-style pancakes or pizza.
As the name indicates (okonomi means favorites in Japanese),
you can add your favorite ingredients in okonomiyaki.
Okonomiyaki usually includes chopped cabbage and various toppings
like thinly sliced pork, red ginger, yakisoba noodles, tenkasu
(tempura crumbs), corn, green onion, squid, shrimp,
dried bonito flakes, bean sprouts, and more.
Ingredients:
2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup leeks, well washed and chopped
2/3 cup flour
a couple pinches of fine grain sea salt
2 eggs, beaten
1+ tablespoon olive oil
Garnish: toasted slivered almonds, chives/ herbs
Directions:
Combine the cabbage, leeks, flour, and salt in a bowl.
Toss until everything is coated with a dusting of flour.
Stir in the eggs and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add
a generous splash of olive oil.
Scoop the cabbage mixture into the pan,
and using a metal spatula press it into a round pancake shape,
flat as you can get it.
Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden.
To flip the okonomiyaki, slide it out of the skillet onto a plate.
Place another plate on top and flip both (together) over.
If you need a bit more oil in your skillet, add it now,
before sliding the okonomiyaki back into the skillet.
Again press down a bit with a spatula and cook
until golden on this side - another 3 -5 minutes.
When you are finished cooking, sprinkle with toasted almonds and chives, and slide it onto a cutting board to cut into wedges. Enjoy immediately.
