The Method
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, dashi powder, eggs, and water until smooth. If using, stir in the grated nagaimo or yam.
- 2
Add the sliced Jersey cabbage, chopped scallions, shrimp, squid, and pickled ginger (if using) to the batter. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 3
Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and spread it evenly over the surface.
- 4
Pour one-fourth of the batter onto the hot pan, spreading it into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- 5
Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake is firm enough to flip. Use a spatula to carefully flip the okonomiyaki.
- 6
Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- 7
Transfer the cooked okonomiyaki to serving plates. Drizzle generously with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise.
- 8
Sprinkle with bonito flakes and aonori (if using). Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips
Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the okonomiyaki one or two at a time depending on the size of your pan.
Be patient when cooking. Allow the bottom to brown properly before flipping to prevent it from falling apart.
Adjust the amount of cabbage and seafood to your preference.
For a vegetarian version, omit the seafood and use vegetable broth in place of dashi powder. Add more vegetables like carrots and mushrooms.
