ingredients:
- 7 ounces cabbage
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plain flour or cake flour
- 2/3 cup bonito soup stock or water
- 2 teaspoons salad oil or olive oil
- 6 tablespoons pizza tomato sauce
- suitable amount of pizza cheese

step 1:
Cut the cabbage into julienne slices.

step 2:
Mix the flour and cold water or bonito soup stock.

step 3:
Add the cabbage and eggs. Mix for only 1 minute because otherwise the batter will become too hard when cooked.

step 4:
Heat a medium-size frying pan on medium heat. Add the oil. Add half of the mixture (Step 3). Arrange in a circle about 1 in. high. Bake on medium heat about 3 minutes. Don't push with a spatula because that will make the okonomiyaki hard.

step 5:
Turn with a spatula and bake the other side about 3 minutes.

step 6:
Coat with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook about 2 minutes.
step 7:
To make the second okonomiyaki, repeat Steps 4, 5 and 6.

comment:
Okonomiyaki is usually served with a sauce in which Worcestershire is the main ingredient, but tomato-based pizza sauce, as in this recipe, also goes well with okonomiyaki.
