Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup dashi broth
  • 3 cups cabbage shredded
  • 6 slices pork belly
  • 3 tbsp okonomiyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp bonito flakes

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, eggs, and dashi into a batter, then fold in the shredded cabbage.
  2. Pour the batter into a hot oiled skillet and shape into a thick round.
  3. Lay pork belly slices over the top and cook until the bottom is golden.

Notes

Pack in lots of cabbage; it's what keeps the pancake light and fluffy.
