Okonomiyaki (cabbage pancakes)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 4 large eggs
• 6 cups finely shredded green cabbage
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt with the water and eggs into a smooth batter.
2. Fold in the cabbage and scallions.
3. For the sauce, stir together the ketchup, soy sauce and honey.
4. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spoon in a quarter of the batter and spread it into a round about 6 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick.
5. Cook for 5 minutes, until golden underneath. Flip and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more, until firm in the center (160 °F).
6. Slide the pancake onto a baking sheet and keep it warm in a 200 °F oven. Cook the remaining three pancakes the same way, adding 1 tbsp of the oil each time.
7. Brush the pancakes with the sauce, drizzle with the mayonnaise and serve.
