VEGETARIAN OKONOMIYAKI (JAPANESE CABBAGE PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, and add the plain flour. Whisk together to form the pancake batter. Add the soy sauce, pureed ginger, and plenty of black pepper, then add the finely shredded cabbage, carrot and spring onions. Mix well to combine.
• Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan, and spoon in 1/4 of the pancake mixture. Cook over a medium-low heat for a few minutes, until the underside is golden brown, then carefully flip the pancake with a spatula, and cook for another couple of minutes, until fully cooked.
• Repeat with the remaining pancake mixture, to create four pancakes in total.
• Serve the vegetarian okonomiyaki with with salad cream (or mayonnaise), sriracha, sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.

VEGGIE-PACKED OKONOMIYAKI (JAPANESE PANCAKE)

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.

JAPANESE VEGETABLE PANCAKES (OKONOMIYAKI)

Steps:

• While oil is heating over medium high heat, make vegetable mixture. In a large mixing bowl, mix all the vegetables, eggs, flour, soy sauce, bonito and dashi.
• When oil is hot drop vegetable mixture into pan flatening it into a small pancake shape. This needs to be no thicker than 1/3 of an inch so that it has time to cook through. Fit as many as you can in your pan without overcrowding or dropping the temperature too much. Once browned on one side, flip and brown the other side. Remove to drain on a paper towel.
• For the sauce, mix the mayo, ketchup and worcestershire sauce together and then drizzle over the hot pancakes. Top with the dried seaweed and serve.
