Ingredients
- 350g cake flour (T45) - sifted
- 4 large size egg
- 450ml water
- 400 to 500g pork belly - finly sliced
- 400 to 450g cabbage (approx) - finely chopped
- 1/2 stick of leek (about 100g) - chopped
- 1 zucchini - grated
Seasoning for the batter
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 tsp white sugar
- some of freshly grated ginger or 1 tsp ginger powder
- 2 tbsp dashi powder - dissolve with 1 tbsp hot water
- 1 tbsp katsuo flakes - if you have
For the sauce
- Chuno sauce, Okonomiyaki sauce and Mayonnaise as much as you want!
Instructions
- 1. In a bowl whisk egg and add water, mix well. Sift flour in it. Stir constantly to keep lumps from forming.
- 2. Add all vegetable, leek, zucchini and cabbage, all ingredients for the seasoning of batter gradually and mix together well.
- 3. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and cook some of sliced pork belly. Split the pork in 3 on the pan.
- 4. Spoon the okonomiyaki mixture on the pork and spread it into a round shape of about 1 to 1.5cm thickness. Well, it doesn't really need to be perfectly round (Optional : If you want, spread some cheese on it and put more pork belly slice). Fry over medium heat until the bottom side becomes golden brown, then turn it over with a spatula and press down on the okonomiyaki to compress. Fry it uncovered until the other side is browned.
- 5. Transfer the okonomiyaki to a plate, put sauce and mayonnaise (to your taste) on it.
Sprinkle some "Aonori" if you like:) Serve hot!
- PS : 3 to 4 hours before slicing the pork belly, you can freeze it. It will make 'usugiri' thin-cutting easier.
