Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the dashi stock powder into 200ml water, then whisk in the plain flour and eggs to make a smooth batter. Fold in the shredded cabbage and grated cheddar.

  2. 2

    Fry the bacon lardons in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until golden and no pink remains, then stir half into the batter.

  3. 3

    Add the vegetable oil to the pan and pour in half the batter, spreading it into a thick round and scattering over half the remaining bacon.

  4. 4

    Cook for 5-6 minutes until golden underneath, then flip carefully and cook for 6-7 minutes more, pressing gently, until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Repeat to make a second pancake.

  6. 6

    Drizzle each pancake with the okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise to serve.
