Pokyny

In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce, maple syrup and dashi. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, water, dashi and soy sauce until smooth and lump-free. Set aside

In a separate bowl, combine half of the cabbage, half of the spring onions, 1 egg, 4 prawns, half the bacon and half of the batter. Mix gently until everything is coated – this will make one pancake.

Heat 1 TBSP oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Spoon the mixture into the pan and spread it into a circle about 2cm thick.

Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and small bubbles begin to appear on the surface. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Repeat steps 3 – 4 with the remaining ingredients to make the second pancake.

Transfer the okonomiyaki to a plate. Generously spread the prepared sauce on top, drizzle with mayonnaise and sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori.
