Instructions
Finely chop 1/3 of a cabbage, 2 spring onions, and 1 tbsp beni shōga.
Add the 3/4 cup dashi, 1/4 cup mirin and 1 cup flour to a bowl and beat until there are no lumps.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little oil. Add a little of the batter to create a thin crepe. Top with cabbage, spring onion and beni shōga.
Make a small slit in the center and add an egg. On top of the egg, add (if desired) the bacon.
Optionally: Take a little dough and dilute it with the dashi broth. Mix it well and add it on top and around the edges of the okonomiyaki to give it more stability and make it easier for us to turn it.
After about 5 minutes, when the crepe has browned, turn it over and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Transfer it to a plate and add the okonomiyaki sauce, kewpie mayonnaise, aonori and katsuobushi.
