Bacon Okonomiyaki
Experience a delightful American twist on the traditional Japanese dish, okonomiyaki! This savory pancake brims with an abundance of vegetables and crispy bacon. While you have the freedom to customize it to your taste, I personally enjoy keeping it simple. For added flavor, consider drizzling it with okonomi sauce and mayonnaise as desired. If you prefer, feel free to replace soba noodles with ramen noodles in this recipe for added variety and personal preference.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 (8 ounce) package dried soba noodles
- 1 (8 ounce) package bacon, chopped
Instructions
- Mix eggs, water, flour, soy sauce, baking powder, and salt together to make the batter.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add to the batter. Cook cabbage in the same pan until slightly wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Add to the batter.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook soba in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and cut noodles into shorter pieces; add to the batter.
- Heat a flat frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook 1/4 cup of bacon until starting to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange it in a small circle in the middle of the pan; add 1 cup of the batter. Cook until brown and crispy, flipping pancake halfway and pressing down with a spatula, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bacon and pancake batter.
