Ingredients
  

For the pancake

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour almond flour
  • 1 ½ cups dashi stock or substitute with chicken or vegetable broth
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup mixed seafood shrimp, squid, and/or scallops, chopped
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup pickled red ginger beni shoga, chopped
  • 1/4 cup tenkasu tempura crumbs

For the toppings

  • Okonomiyaki sauce
  • Japanese mayonnaise
  • Bonito flakes
  • Aonori dried seaweed flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, dashi stock, eggs, soy sauce, mirin, and baking powder. Mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Add shredded cabbage, mixed seafood, green onions, pickled red ginger, and tenkasu to the batter. Gently fold in the ingredients until well combined.
  • Grease a baking dish with oil. Pour the okonomiyaki batter into the dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Drizzle okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise over the top. Sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori for added flavor and presentation.
  • Slice the baked okonomiyaki into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

- If you don't have the oven, you can use a griddle or a large non-stick pan. Put it on the stove over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface and pour a portion of the batter onto the griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. The other steps are similar.
- You can keep okonomiyaki in the fridge for 1 - 2 days or freeze it to make it last longer. You can reheat the dish in the oven at 180°C for approximately 10-15 minutes or on the stove with low heat.
