4 shitake mushrooms thinly sliced (any mushrooms will work fine)
1 portion of My Heart Beets 3 Ingredient Naan batter
4 eggs + 1 egg white (you will use the egg yolk for the mayo)
1 tsp grated ginger
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ cup water
pepper to taste
4 tbsp ghee
For the Okonomiyaki inspired Sauce:
4 tbsp apple sauce
4 tbsp coconut aminos (I use coconut secret)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Mix everything in a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer for 5 mins
For the Mayo:
1 egg yolk
½ dijon mustard
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Make the portion of My Heart Beets 3 ingredient naan batter
Add 4 eggs + 1 egg white (reserve the egg yolk in a medium sized bowl to make the mayo)
Whisk until combined well
Add the water and combine well again
Add remaining ingredients (cabbage, spring onions, ginger, mushrooms & pepper to taste)
NOTE: add the cabbage gradually, you may not need it all. The batter should look like this:
Set aside, and make the Okonomiyaki inspired sauce & Mayo
Allow the Okonomiyaki inspired sauce to cool - it's not going to be a dark sticky sauce. More like a brown puree but the taste should be sweet & tangy
Place the Mayo in the fridge when done
Heat a non stick pan on medium high with 1 tbsp ghee
Ladle ¼ of the batter and make about a 15cm pancake
Reduce the heat to a low / medium and allow the pancake to brown
You can add any toppings you like (bacon, seafood etc). I kept this vegetarian.
When the pancake is a nice golden brown, carefully flip it over
Allow this side to brown
Once both sides are a golden brown, remove from pan and plate
Repeat for remaining batter using 1 tbsp ghee each time, you should be able to make 3 more pancakes
While the pancakes are browning, place your mayo and Okonomiyaki inspired sauce in separate zip lock bags and seal tight ensuring all the air has been removed
Snip a small corner off, this will become our piping bag
Pipe the sauce & mayo over the pancakes
Decorate with your preferred garnish, like Bonito flakes or whatever you have handy (in my case parsley & cherry tomatoes)
Try adding some fermented veggies if you have any handy!
