Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C (350). Line a rectangular baking pan or a 23cm cake tin with baking paper or a reusable liner.
Remove the outer leaves and core from the cabbage. Shred the carrot and cabbage in a food processor or grate the carrot and finely slice the cabbage by hand. Slice the spring onions into very thin strips.
Add the eggs, flour, baking powder and soy sauce to a mixing bowl. Mix together to make the pancake batter, ideally using an immersion blender to remove any lumps.
Add the vegetables and nori and mix well to combine. If you are using bacon, shrimp or other optional extras you can fold those in too.
Spread the batter into the prepare pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are just set. Cool slightly before slicing.
Serve drizzled with Okonomi sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise, Togarashi, nori and sliced spring onions.
