Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Sriracha
¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 cups shredded green cabbage
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup shredded carrot
4 scallions, sliced, whites and greens separated, divided
¼ cup brown or white rice flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, Sriracha and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine cabbage, zucchini, carrot and scallion whites in a large bowl. Sprinkle with rice flour and salt and toss to coat. Beat eggs in a small bowl, then pour over the vegetables and stir until evenly combined.
  • Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the vegetable mixture, pressing gently on the top and sides with a spatula to shape it into a large pancake. Cook until a golden crust forms on the bottom and edges, 6 to 9 minutes. (Reduce heat, if necessary, to prevent burning.) To flip, carefully place a large plate or inverted rimless baking sheet over the pan and quickly invert. Slide the pancake back into the pan, browned-side now facing up. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender and the bottom is golden, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Slide the okonomiyaki onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the reserved mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion greens.
