Oven-baking is the easiest way to cook ‘Okonomiyaki’ for a larger number of servings. Mix plenty of shredded Cabbage with the simple batter, add your favourite ingredients, spread it over a baking tray, and bake it in a hot oven. Today I made Seafood Okonomiyaki. As Seafood can be cooked quickly, I mixed them with Cabbage mixture. This is perfect for a family dinner and also to entertain your guests.

4 Eggs

Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Mix Flour, Water, Eggs, Salt and Dashi Powder in a large mixing bowl.
