Okonomiyaki
A classic Japanese cabbage pancake, served with homemade okonomiyaki sauce and topped with bonito flakes and crispy seaweed chips. Okonomiyaki is a very popular street food dish in Japan that can be varied almost endlessly, but the base always consists of shredded cabbage and eggs. The bonito flakes add a rich umami flavor and dance beautifully when sprinkled over the warm pancake.

- In another bowl, mix together the wheat flour, dashi, baking powder, and salt. Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir until the batter is smooth.
- Cut the bacon into strips and fry it in a dry skillet. Let the bacon drain on paper towels.
- Thinly slice the green onion, chop the gari, and finely shred the white cabbage, preferably with a mandoline. Add the white cabbage, gari, and bacon to the batter. Add the green onion as well, but save a little for serving.
- Heat a skillet with a little neutral oil over medium heat. Pour in some of the batter and shape it into a round pancake, about 2 cm thick.
- Cook the pancake for about 4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip it and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Place the pancake on a plate and drizzle okonomiyaki sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise over it.
- Sprinkle with bonito flakes and the reserved scallions.
