Cabbage Pancakes

Cabbage pancakes! We’re getting beautiful cabbage in our farm shares. If you looking for an option to coleslaw then try a Japanese savoury pancake called Okonomiyaki. There is some prep time required but these are so worth it! (Thanks Chris Grosset!!)

Step 1

Place all of the pancake ingredients in a large bowl, and then stir in the beaten egg to make a paste like batter. Heat a fry pan with oil (I use sesame oil and sunflower oil). Spoon batter into the pan and press into 1/2 inch thick cakes, and fry 3 minutes and then flip over to cook another 3 minutes.

Step 2

You can in advance make the sauces and dressing elements.

Step 3

Okonomiyaki bbq sauce - mix 1 tablespoon each of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and honey. Microwave it for 30 seconds and then stir and leave to cool

Step 4

Japanese style mayonnaise - mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha sauce

Step 5

Plate the pancakes with a drizzle of the bbq sauce, mayo, sprinkled with onions, sesame seeds and nori, and served with the ginger and wasabi.

Step 6

I like good food on special dishes like this plate from General Fine Craft made by Kinya Ishikawa.
