Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancake)

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savoury pancake, containing a variety of ingredients.
The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "choice/preference" or "what you like", and yaki meaning "cooking' or "grilling".
This meat-free version contains cabbage (the main ingredient in any okonomiyaki), carrots, mushrooms and onions. For extra protein, a beaten egg can be added, or small pieces of chicken, fish or pork.

Method:

Mix the oat flour, whole wheat flour and ginger with the cup of water to form a batter.

Chop the cabbage, onion and mushrooms, julienne or grate the carrots and mix the vegetables into the batter. It may seem there is not enough batter but it will go further than you think!

Heat a frying pan with cooking spray and spoon the mixture into the pan. Flatten and compact the mixture as the cabbage reduces in size.

Flip the pancake using a second heated frying pan or flip onto a plate and then slide back into the pan.

When cooked on both sides, serve with mustard mayo (1 tbsp light mayo and 1tsp mustard). ENJOY!
