Ingredients

Base Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chicken broth or water
4 eggs
3 cups finely shredded cabbage
2 green onions, finely chopped
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup canola oil

Toppings

2 cups bean sprouts
1 green onion finely chopped diagonally
2 cups dried bonito flakes
3 tablespoons pickled ginger
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Asian-style hot sauce

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. In another bowl, whisk broth with the eggs, then combine both mixtures. Fold in cabbage, green onions, and bacon.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat; add ½ cup of batter to the skillet, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the bottom is golden; flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
Serve with bean sprouts, green onion, bonito flakes, ginger, sesame seeds, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
Yields 6 pancakes.

Notes

If you find okonomiyaki sauce, serve it as a topping. It can also replace Worcestershire sauce due to similar flavors. Chicken broth can be substituted with low-sodium chicken broth if desired.
