Whisk cake flour, dashi stock (or water), sugar and mirin in a jug until smooth.

Heat a pan on medium low and add a drizzle of oil. Wipe off the excess with kitchen paper and pour 3/4 of the batter into the center. Spread it out using the back of a spoon until thin and even.

4

Sprinkle with bonito

While the batter is still wet, sprinkle the surface with katsuobushi (bonito flakes).

5

Add layers

Top with a layer of shredded cabbage, tenkasu (tempura bits) and beansprouts. Drizzle the rest of the batter over the top.

6

Add pork

Lay the thin slices of pork over the top.

7

Cook

Place a lid on top and cook for 5 minutes on a low/medium-low heat. The ingredients will cook in the steam.

8

Flip

Carefully flip and continue to cook with the lid for 5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

9

Make okonomi sauce

While the okonomiyaki is cooking, make the okonomi sauce by mixing Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, honey and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside for later.

10

Whisk egg

Whisk an egg with a pinch of salt until the white and yolk is combined.

Fry egg crepe

Transfer the okonomiyaki to a plate and wipe out the pan. Spread a new layer of oil and pour the egg into the pan. Fry until 80% cooked.
