Some leftover Brussels Sprouts that I bought for Christmas Lunch had been in the fridge for over 2 weeks, and I needed to use them up. Today I made them into Okonomiyaki. Brussels Sprouts look like miniature Cabbages. This Okonomiyaki turned out very similar to the regular Cabbage Okonomiyaki, but it has a stronger Brussels …
‘Okonomiyaki’ is a Japanese savoury pancake. The batter is made with Flour and Egg. Today I didn’t use Flour at all. This is No-Carb ‘Okonomiyaki’.

‘Okonomiyaki’ is a Japanese savoury pancake. Cabbage is commonly mixed with the pancake batter. However, many other Vegetables are suitable. I often add Carrot and Spring Onion.
