Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 2/3 cup dashi (Japanese soup stock) or water
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1/4 cup chopped shrimp or squid (optional)
• 4 slices bacon or pork belly, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup okonomiyaki sauce (a sweet and savory sauce, available in Asian markets)
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced nori (dried seaweed)
• Bonito flakes (dried fish flakes), for garnish
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Add dashi or water and eggs, and whisk until smooth.
3. Add shredded cabbage, scallions, shrimp or squid (if using), and bacon or pork belly (if using), and stir to combine.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
5. Spoon 1/4 of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it out to form a 6-inch pancake. Repeat with the remaining batter, making 4 pancakes in total.
6. Cook the pancakes for 4-5 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the pancake over using a spatula, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side.
7. Transfer the pancakes to a serving plate, and drizzle with mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce.
8. Sprinkle with sliced nori and bonito flakes.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
