Ingredients
1⁄3 teaspoon Dashi Granules2⁄3 cups Water
1⁄2 cup Flour
1 whole Egg
3 tablespoons Panko
2 cups Cabbage (shredded)
1⁄3 cup Green Onions (chopped)
3 whole Bacon Slices (cut into 3-inch pieces)
1 1⁄2 tablespoon Ketchup
1⁄2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1⁄2 teaspoon Soy Sauce
1⁄4 teaspoon Honey
2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1⁄2 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
1 tablespoon Japanese Mayonnaise
1 whole Seaweed Sheet (small, shredded)
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix the dashi granules into the water until it dissolves. Whisk in the flour, egg, and panko to make a batter.
- Add in the cabbage and most of the green onion (reserving a pinch). Fold into the batter until combined.
- In a small bowl mix ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, and honey. Set aside.
- Heat a large 12" cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then heat for a couple minutes. Dump the cabbage batter into the pan; using a small spatula, flatten batter top and edges into a round pancake about 1/2-inch thick.
- Cover the top of the pancake with the bacon pieces in a single layer. Cook pancake this way for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip using a big flat spatula so the bacon-side is down.
- Cook until bacon has crisped, about 5 minutes, and then flip again to cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, bacon side up.
- Slide pancake onto a large plate. Zig-zag the sauce over the top in one direction, and the Japanese mayo in the other. Sprinkle remaining green onions, seaweed, and sesame seeds over the sauces.
