A simple and tasty savory Japanese pancake with cabbage and pork, made without tempura bits (tenkasu) or grated yam. Perfect for an easy homemade meal!

🛒 Ingredients
7 oz cabbage (finely chopped or shredded)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 green onion (sliced)
3.5 oz pork belly slices
2/3 cup water or dashi stock
Cooking oil (for frying)

Toppings:
Okonomiyaki sauce
Mayonnaise
Aonori (dried green seaweed)
Katsuobushi (bonito flakes)

👩‍🍳 Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour and water (or dashi stock) well.
Add the eggs and mix thoroughly.
Add cabbage and green onion, then gently combine.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour half of the batter into a round shape.
Place pork belly slices on top and cook for about 4-5 minutes.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Cover with a lid to ensure it cooks through.
When both sides are golden brown, transfer to a plate.
Spread okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise on top, then sprinkle with aonori and katsuobushi.

✅ Tips
Since this recipe does not use tempura bits or yam, the batter is a bit thicker and wetter, so increase the flour slightly for better texture.
The cabbage’s natural moisture helps keep it soft; cook slowly and shape the pancake gently while frying.
