Okonomiyaki (Savory Pancake) - Dairy & Egg Free
A savory Japanese pancake packed with vegetables and flavor. This version is completely dairy and egg free using flax eggs and plant-based mayonnaise.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
- 4 cups Cabbage
- 4 stalks Green Onions
- 1/2 cup Carrot
- 1/2 cup Shiitake Mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 cup Okonomiyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup Plant-Based Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Aonori (Dried Seaweed Flakes)
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken into a flax egg.
- 2In a large bowl, add the 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 3/4 cup of water. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
- 3Add the prepared flax egg to the flour and water mixture. Stir everything together until it is well combined.
- 4Prepare the vegetables: shred the 4 cups of cabbage, finely chop the 4 stalks of green onions, and finely chop the 1/2 cup of carrot and 1/2 cup of shiitake mushrooms.
- 5Add the prepared 4 cups of cabbage, 4 stalks of green onions, 1/2 cup of carrot, and 1/2 cup of shiitake mushrooms to the batter. Mix thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the batter.
- 6Heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
- 7Pour 1/4 of the vegetable and batter mixture onto the hot skillet to form a pancake. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- 8Repeat step 7 to cook the remaining 3 pancakes, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet as needed between pancakes.
- 9Transfer the cooked okonomiyaki to serving plates. Drizzle generously with the 1/4 cup of okonomiyaki sauce and the 1/4 cup of plant-based mayonnaise. Sprinkle the top with the 1 tablespoon of aonori (dried seaweed flakes).
