Okonomiyaki Style Sprout Pancakes

These pancakes are so easy to make, contain protein, lots of flavour and all the nutritional goodness of Aussie Sprout Alfalfa Sprouts. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savoury pancake traditionally made with cabbage, but this recipe swaps out the cabbage for Alfalfa Sprouts.

Serves: 1

INGREDIENTS:

Okonomiyaki Pancakes:  

• 1/2 cup Alfalfa Sprouts 

• 2 eggs 

• 2 tbsp plain flour [substitute plain gluten free flour if required] 

• 1/2 tsp soy sauce 

• 1/2 tsp sesame oil 

• 1 spring onion, finely sliced 

• 1/2 tbsp oil of choice to fry  

Okonomiyaki Sauce:  

• 2 tbsp Tomato sauce  

• 1/2 tsp Soy sauce

• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 

• 1/2 tsp Maple syrup  

•  1/2 tsp Oyster sauce 

INSTRUCTIONS​:

1. Combine the eggs, flour, soy sauce, sesame oil, sliced spring onion and sprouts in a bowl and mix with a fork to combine. 

2. Heat the oil on a medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the okonomiyaki mixture and spread out with a spoon to form a large pancake, about 1 inch thick. 

3. Cook for about five minutes, and then flip when the bottom is golden brown, and the top side of the pancake has started to set. Cook the bottom side for another 1-2 minutes then remove from the pan. 

4. While the Okonomiyaki is cooking make the Okonomiyaki Sauce by mixing all ingredients together in a small bowl. 

5. Once the Okonomiyaki is cooked top with sliced spring onions, more Alfalfa Sprouts, sesame seeds, kewpie mayo and okonomiyaki sauce. Enjoy!
