The Method
- 1
Cook ramen noodles according to package directions, omitting the seasoning packet. Drain well and let cool slightly.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles, shredded cabbage, green onions, and protein of choice.
- 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs and soy sauce. Pour the egg mixture over the ramen mixture and stir well to combine.
- 4
Heat sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- 5
Divide the ramen mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round pancake about ½ inch thick.
- 6
Carefully place the pancakes in the hot skillet, leaving space between each. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 7
Flip the pancakes carefully using a spatula. If the pancakes start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
- 8
Once the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown on both sides, remove them from the skillet and place them on serving plates.
- 9
Drizzle generously with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise.
- 10
Garnish with aonori (dried seaweed flakes) and bonito flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips
Make sure the ramen noodles are well-drained to prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy.
If you don't have okonomiyaki sauce, you can use a mixture of Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and a touch of oyster sauce.
Adjust the amount of protein and vegetables to your liking.
For a vegetarian version, use tofu or omit the protein entirely.
