It’s been a few years since I’ve published my first Okonomiyaki inspired recipe. I’ve been mulling about how I’d like to eat something similar for a few days, but this time decided to throw in some shredded Gouda cheese into the mix as well. While this recipe is super delicious and easy to make, it really has very little to do with original Okonomiyaki. But that’s where the inspiration came from.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 serving / 1.27 EUR)

For the batter:

1 egg (0.20 EUR)

½ cup all-purpose flour (0.03 EUR)

½ cup water (–)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.02 EUR)

1 cup shredded cabbage (0.13 EUR)

½ cup shredded melty cheese (0.27 EUR)

Additional:

1 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.01 EUR)

A few slices of thinly sliced smoked ham (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp of mayo (0.13 EUR)

Drizzle of Sriracha (0.07 EUR)

METHOD:

Prepare the batter by whisking together egg, flour, water, salt and pepper. Stir in cabbage and cheese until well combined. Place a deep skillet on medium heat and allow it to warm up. Swirl in the oil, then add the batter and even out with a spatula. Arrange the smoked ham (or any other thinly sliced deli meat of your choice) on top and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is crispy and lightly golden-brown. Flip the pancake over and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately with some mayo and a good drizzle of Sriracha or any other hot sauce of your choice.

Prošlo je već par godina od kada sam objavila svoj prvi recept koji je bio nadahnut japanskim okonomiyakijem. Već mi se par dana motala po glavi misao kako mi se jede nešto tog tipa, ali sam ovoga puta u cijelu priču odlučila ubaciti i ribanu gaudu. Dok je ovaj recept stvarno jako ukusan, nema baš puno toga zajedničkog sa izvornim okonomiyakijem. Ali eto, od tamo mi je došla inspiracija.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 porciju / 9,51 kn)

Za tijesto:

1 jaje (1,50 kn)

½ šalice glatkog brašna (0,25 kn)

½ šalice vode (–)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,15 kn)

1 šalica ribanog kupusa (1,00 kn)

½ šalice ribanog topljivog sira (2,00 kn)

Dodatno:

1 žlica suncokretovog ulja (0,10 kn)

Par tankih šnita dimljene šunke (3,00 kn)

2 žlice majoneze (1,00 kn)

Malo Srirache (0,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Smjesu pripremite tako da skupa razmutite jaje, brašno, vodu, sol i papar. Umiješajte kupus i sir da se sve sjedini. Dublju tavu stavite na srednje jaku vatru i pustite ju da se dobro ugrije. Namastite tavu uljem, pa ulijte smjesu i poravnajte ju špatulom. Poslažite po palačinki dimljenu šunku (ili koji drugi mesni narezak po vašoj želji), te kuhajte jedno 5-7 minuta, dok donja strana ne bude hrskava i zlatno-smeđa. Preokrenite palačinku pa dovršite i na drugoj strani još 2-3 minute. Poslužite odmah sa majonezom i pokapano Srirachom ili kojim drugim ljutim umakom po vašem izboru.
