Cabbage pancake

  • Sift the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs, water, optional dashi powder and salt and whisk to make a smooth batter. Using a spoon, stir through the cabbage, spring onions and grated ginger. Heat a quarter of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and spoon in a quarter of the mixture. Cook until the edges have cooked a little and the pancake is golden on the bottom. Gently flip the pancake and cook the other side over a medium heat until golden and cooked through. Keep warm while repeating with the remaining mixture.
  • Slide the pancake onto a serving plate. Drizzle generously with tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise and sprinkle with pickled ginger, chopped macadamias and nori seaweed. Serve immediately.
