A savoury Japanese pancake, okonomiyaki is delicious for dinner, lunch or as a snack.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
6 eggs
2 tbsp water
1 397-g pkg coleslaw mix
5 slices bacon
Sauces
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Stir flour with baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs with water in a large bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until just combined, then stir in coleslaw.
Heat a 12-in. oven-safe frying pan over medium. Spray bottom and sides of pan with oil. Lay bacon strips in the pan and cook until bottom is just crisp, 1 to 2 min. Flip bacon, then pour batter overtop. Smooth top. Cook for 2 min, then transfer to oven.
Bake in centre of oven until sides are golden and batter is set, 28 to 30 min. Run a spatula around the edges to loosen. Flip onto a plate, bacon-side up. Cut into 8 wedges.
Stir ketchup with Worcestershire and soy sauce in a small bowl until combined. In another small bowl, stir mayo with lemon juice. Serve both sauces with pancake wedges.
