Japanese Cabbage Pancakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Okonomiyaki Dish is a Savory Pancake That is Perfect For Dinner

— September 1, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Japanese dish Okonomiyaki is a delicious savory pancake that is perfect to enjoy as a lunch or dinner meal. The pancake swaps out sweet ingredients for veggies like cabbage and green onions as well as bacon.

Pancakes are traditionally eaten in America as a breakfast item with infused sugary flavors from fruits, chocolate and other decadent toppings. These unconventional Japanese pancakes incorporate flour, egg, tempura bits, green onion, shredded cabbage and bacon to create a fluffy large pancake that is perfect for sharing. The pancake can be topped with Kewpie mayo, seaweed flakes and Okonomi sauce. This is a great dinner idea for those looking to experiment with new foods and try something a little bit out of their comfort zone.
