Savor the unexpected delight of Bacon Okonomiyaki, a Japanese-inspired pancake brimming with savory goodness. Crispy bacon, tender noodles, and fresh vegetables unite in a symphony of textures and flavors. Customize it to your taste, but we recommend a drizzle of okonomi sauce and mayonnaise for the ultimate indulgence.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, flour, soy sauce, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Set the batter aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Heat the vegetable oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent. (Cook time: 5 minutes). Stir the cooked onion into the prepared batter. Add the shredded cabbage to the same pan and cook until slightly wilted. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes). Stir the wilted cabbage into the batter.

03

Step

6 mins

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to package directions, usually until tender but still firm to the bite. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes). Drain the noodles well and cut them into shorter, more manageable pieces. Stir the noodles into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

04

Step

6 mins

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook about ¼ cup of the chopped bacon until it begins to crisp. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes). Arrange the partially cooked bacon in a small circle in the center of the skillet. Pour 1 cup of the prepared batter over the bacon in the skillet. Cook the okonomiyaki until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully and press down gently with a spatula. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining bacon and batter to make additional okonomiyaki.
