2 tbsp oil

To serve

to serve okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes

Steps

Whisk the flour, dashi, eggs, and salt, then fold in the cabbage and scallions.
Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium and spread half the batter into a 2 cm thick round.
Lay pork slices on top and cook 6 minutes until the base is browned.
Flip, press lightly, and cook 6 more minutes until the pork crisps and the center sets.
Repeat with the rest, then finish with sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes.

Don't overmix — the cabbage should barely be coated.
