Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Toast 5g of bonito flakes in a dry pan over low heat, stirring constantly until they become dry and crispy. Let cool, then crush into a powder.
  2. Make the okonomiyaki sauce by mixing together Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. In a large bowl, sift the flour. Add water, 1 tsp of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and the bonito powder. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Cut the cabbage into squares and finely chop the green onions. Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with a little salt.
  5. Just before cooking, add the cabbage, green onions, and egg to the batter. Gently but quickly mix to coat all vegetables with batter.
  6. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Arrange about half of the pork belly slices in a circle at the bottom of the pan.
  7. Pour the batter mixture over the pork. Use a spatula to shape it into a thick, round pancake.
  8. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes on low heat.
  9. Remove the lid. Place the remaining pork slices on top of the pancake (the still-raw side).
  10. Using two spatulas, carefully flip the okonomiyaki. The side with the pork should be golden and crispy.
  11. Pour 1 tablespoon of water into the pan (on the side, not on the pancake) to create steam.
  12. Cover again and steam-cook for 4-5 minutes on low heat. This step will cook the inside and make it very soft.
  13. Remove the lid. The water should have evaporated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes so the bottom gets crispy.
  14. Flip one last time so the most grilled side is on top.
  15. Generously brush the top of the okonomiyaki with the homemade sauce.
  16. Draw lines of Japanese mayonnaise across the top.
  17. Sprinkle with aonori (green seaweed).
  18. Finish by adding a generous handful of bonito flakes, which will ‘dance’ with the heat.
  19. Serve immediately and cut into portions with a spatula.
