Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is an inexpensive popular meal.
Okonomiyaki has different shapes and recipes depending on the region.

This is the Kansai version eaten in Osaka and Hyogo.
In Taiwan, it is called Osaka-yaki.

It's easy, so let's make okonomiyaki.

Ingredients (1 serving)
cake flour ; cup 1
baking powder ; 1 teaspoon
Dashi broth ; cup1 (powdered dashi dissolved in 1 cup of water. For the dashi, use your favorite extract, such as kelp or fish such as bonito.)
3 cabbage leaves
1 green onion
Eggs, grated Chinese yam, rice cakes, if desired.

your favorite meat. squid, octopus, tenderized beef tendons, and pork are often used in Japan.

Japanese sauce, optional mayonnaise

Mix flour and dashi stock well and add chopped cabbage and green onions.
Add eggs and grated yam if you want. These make the dough fluffier.

Heat oil on a griddle or frying pan.
Spread the mixture of vegetables and flour in a flat, round shape on the frying pan.
Add meat of your choice on top.
Cook over low to medium heat.
When the bottom side is browned and hardened enough to flip over, flip it over.
When the whole  is cooked , put it on a plate.

Pour the sauce over the top. Adding mayonnaise is also delicious.

This Japanese sauce is sweet and sour, solty. We call Okonomi souce.
If you can't get this sauce, I think you can use soy sauce for a light taste.
