Cooking Okonomiyaki takes time, especially when you make many. Why don’t you bake it in oven just like pizza? You can make very large Okonomiyaki at a time and you don’t need to flip it over. Again I listed Pork and Cabbage in this recipe. These can be substituted for any ingredients at all. Because this is ‘Okonomiyaki’, you can use whatever you like.
Makes
4 to 6 Servings
Ingredients
2 cups Self-Raising Flour
2 cups Water
4 Eggs
1 pinch Salt
1/2 teaspoon Dashi Power *optional
1/2 Cabbage *add as much as you like if you can combine with the batter
200-300g Thinly Sliced Pork Belly
Okonomiyaki Sauce
Japanese Mayonnaise
Ingredient Suggestions
Ham, Seafood, Sausage, Cheese, Bacon, Onion, Spring Onion, Mushrooms
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Make batter by mixing the Flour, Water, Eggs, Salt and Dashi Powder.
- Add shredded cabbage to the batter and mix it well. You may add more vegetables and other ingredients to it. If the batter is too runny, add extra Flour.
- Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Spread the cabbage mixture on the trays and cover with thinly sliced pork. You may wish to place other ingredients on top of the mixture.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until pork is brown and crisp and the cabbage mixture is cooked.
- Place the Okonomiyaki on a large plate or board. Dress with Okonomiyaki Sauce and Japanese Mayonnaise. Sprinkle Katsuobushi, Aonori or Benishooga (Pickled Ginger) if you have, and serve.

Thanks for a great recipe. I have only one burner. Baking this makes it possible to cook something else along side. WE like green onion and cabbage in ours. I came looking for a Chinese pan cake recipe. Because I love scallion pancakes. But too much work.Then I found Okonomiyaki! And made it but used green onion instead of cabbage. Now I lilke the combination of both ingredients. And then, when I moved to my small apartment, and standing at the stove became a chore, I went looking for a baked version.I have made this many times now. My Hubby asked for my onion and cabbage pancake for New Year’s eave this year. So I am going to do so. Thanks so much. for a great time and effort saver. As well as a well thought out recipe.Well explained and illustrated.

THANK YOU for posting such a positive comments. My recipes are not something I make for the website, but what I cook for myself and my family. I want to cook easily, often quickly with minimum effort, and I want the food is delicious and nutritious. That’s what most of home cooks want, isn’t it?
