   Yield: 3-4 servings

   **Ingredients**

   **Okonomiyaki**

   * 100g cake flour (see note)
   * 75ml dashi stock (see how to make your own dashi from scratch stock here)
   * 1 tsp milk
   * 1 tsp tsuyu sauce
   * 3 eggs
   * 150g (2 cups) cabbage
   * 2 tbsp tenkasu (tempura bits) optional
   * 2 tsp benishoga (pickled ginger) optional
   * 100g (3-4 oz) Pork belly thinly sliced (or unsmoked bacon – approx 6 rashers)
   * 2 tbsp vegetable oil
   * 1 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
   * 1 tbsp katsuobushi bonito flake (optional)
   * 1 tsp aonori (or parsley as a substitute) 

   **Okonomiyaki Sauce**

   * 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
   * 1 tbsp oyster sauce
   * 2 tbsp ketchup
   * 1 tbsp honey
   * 1 tsp soy sauce

   **Instructions**

   **Okonomiyaki Sauc**e

   1. Mix 1 tbsp Worcester sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp soy sauce in a small bowl.

   **Batter**

   1. Sift the flour into a large bowl.
   2. Add 75ml dashi, 1 tsp milk, 1 tsp tsuyu sauce and 1 egg to the bowl, mix well until there are no lumps. (I recommend a whisk.)
   3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
   4. Cut the cabbage into into small rough pieces In a separate bowl, add half of the batter, then half of the cabbage with 1 tbsp tenkasu, 1 tsp benishoga and 1 egg. Mix well.
   5. Heat up the frying pan on medium-high and pour in approx ½ tbsp of vegetable oil. Once it’s hot, add the mixture to the center of the frying pan. Lay the slices of pork belly over the top of the wet mixture.
   6. Fry the okonomiyaki until the bottom starts to become brown and crispy, then carefully flip it over. Place a lid on the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on a medium-low heat.
   7. Pierce the middle with a toothpick to make sure it’s cooked. If the toothpick doesn’t come out clean, it’s not quite ready and you need to continue to cook on a low heat, checking regularly.
   8. Once it’s cooked through, flip it over again and pour half of the sauce on top of the okonomiyaki and use a pastry brush or spoon to spread it evenly over the top. You can do this while it’s still in the pan.
   9. Drizzle with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with bonito flakes and aonori. Repeat the process again from step 5 with the remaining ingredients.
