Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, dashi powder, eggs, and water until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the shredded cabbage and sliced green onions.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, white miso paste, and lime juice. Mix well to create the slaw dressing.

    ~2 min
  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the pan to form a pancake, about 6 inches in diameter. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed, to make 4 okonomiyaki pancakes.

    ~20 min
  4. 4

    Once cooked, carefully fold each okonomiyaki pancake in half like a taco shell.

    ~1 min
  5. 5

    Fill each okonomiyaki taco with flaked smoked salmon. Top with a generous spoonful of the miso-lime slaw.

    Drizzle with sweet chili sauce just before serving.

Tips

  • Ensure your frying pan is well-heated before adding the batter for even cooking and a good sear. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  • These tacos are best enjoyed immediately. However, leftover okonomiyaki can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a dry pan.
