Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 eggs
½ cup water
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 (8 ounce) package dried soba noodles
1 (8 ounce) package bacon, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix eggs, water, flour, soy sauce, baking powder, and salt together to make the batter.

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and cut noodles into shorter pieces; add to the batter.
  • Heat a flat frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook 1/4 cup of bacon until starting to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange it in a small circle in the middle of the pan; add 1 cup of the batter. Cook until brown and crispy, flipping pancake halfway and pressing down with a spatula, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bacon and pancake batter.

CLASSIC OKONOMIYAKI (JAPANESE CABBAGE AND PORK PANCAKES)



Classic Okonomiyaki (Japanese Cabbage and Pork Pancakes) image

Crisp on the outside and custardy in the center, okonomiyaki are pan-fried Japanese pancakes that traditionally feature a filling of cabbage and pork belly. Here, bacon can be substituted for the pork belly, replaced with shrimp or omitted entirely. You can find the more unusual toppings like hondashi, Kewpie mayonnaise, okonomi sauce and dried bonito at any Japanese market. Similar to Worcestershire sauce but sweeter and less salty, the okonomi sauce is combined with Kewpie mayonnaise and umami-rich bonito flakes for a playful topping. This adaptable recipe is a great way to use up leftovers or other vegetables, such as shredded carrots, bean sprouts or chopped snap peas.

Time 50m

Yield Two 7-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon hondashi (bonito soup stock) or instant dashi
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups finely shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 pound)
1 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 5 scallions)
1 tablespoon drained pickled red ginger (or finely chopped pickled sushi ginger)
1/4 cup safflower or canola oil
3 ounces sliced pork belly or bacon, cut crosswise into 5-inch pieces
Okonomi sauce, Kewpie mayonnaise, dried shaved bonito and shredded nori, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine hondashi with 1 cup water and whisk until dissolved. Whisk in eggs until well combined. Add flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and whisk until smooth. Fold in cabbage, scallions and ginger until well incorporated.
  • In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add half the batter, spreading cabbage mixture into an even 6-inch round about 1-inch thick (resist the urge to push down on the mixture). Arrange half the pork belly over the cabbage, slightly overlapping. Cook over medium-low until pancake is set and golden brown underneath, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and carefully flip pancake by inverting onto a plate then slipping back into the skillet.
  • Cook until golden brown on second side, pancake is cooked through in center and pork is lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer pancake, pork side up, onto a large plate. Wipe out skillet and repeat with remaining oil, batter and pork belly.
  • Drizzle pancakes with okonomi sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise, then top with a handful of shaved bonito and nori. Serve warm.
