Directions
The name of this dish comes from the Japanese word okonomi, meaning "how you like" or "what you like", so you can include whatever veggies you would like. Use about two heaping cups of shredded vegetables for this recipe. Shred the veggies or cut into ribbons, making the strips as fine as you can. Place cabbage, carrots, green onions, etc, and the eggs (or milled flax seeds), sesame seeds, minced garlic and ginger, salt and pepper into a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
Add flour, water, and miso paste to a separate small bowl, whisk well to combine and remove lumps.
Pour batter into cabbage mixture and stir well to combine.
Spray a skillet with cooking oil, then place the skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add half of the Okonomiyaki batter and flatten out to fill the bottom of the pan.
Cook until golden brown, around 6 to 8 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side until it's also golden brown. Keep warm while cooking the other half of the batter.
Garnish the Okonomiyaki with your toppings of choice. We like a drizzle of vegan mayonnaise and BBQ sauce, plus green onions, sesame seeds, and vegan Furikake.
