Method
- 1. In a large bowl, whisk all-purpose flour with cold dashi stock until smooth and pourable. Add soy sauce and combine well.
- 2. Fold in shredded cabbage, green onions, and any chosen fillings like shrimp or mushrooms. Mix gently to avoid overworking the batter.
- 3. Heat a flat pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface until it shimmers.
- 4. Spoon the batter onto the pan, spreading thinly. Let it cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until edges are crispy and the center is set but gooey.
- 5. Use two spatulas to chop, scrape, or flip the batter for authentic Monjayaki texture. Continue cooking until desired consistency is reached.
- 6. Drizzle with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise if desired. Top with bonito flakes, green onions, and pickled ginger. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Luna says: Always prep ingredients before you start for stress-free cooking. Customize freely with seafood, kimchi, or cheese. Bonito flakes are essential for authentic smoky flavor!
