To make

Instructions

To make Okonomiyaki Sauce, combine all okonomiyaki sauce ingredients in a bowl, whisk to combine and adjust sweetness to your preference. Set aside. Chop the thawed calamari rings and tentacles into bite size pieces.

To prepare the batter combine flour, baking powder, salt, and Dashi powder in a bowl and stir. Add in egg and water and combine until smooth. Fold in cabbage, green onion, and chopped calamari pieces.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. For each pancake, spoon ¼ cup of batter into the skillet. Spread batter slightly so pancakes are thin and cook for approximately 2 minutes each side. Pancakes are done when a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.

Drizzle pancakes with Okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayo. Top with all the garnish or keep it simple. Serve and enjoy!
