Ingredients for the Okonomiyaki Savory Waffles
Here’s what you need to make these mouthwatering waffles:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup dashi or water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Optional toppings: Okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and seaweed flakes
Instructions to Whip These Up
- Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. You want that thing nice and hot!
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, grated cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, dashi (or water), and soy sauce. Once combined, pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t worry about it being too smooth; a few lumps are totally okay!
- Lightly grease your waffle iron with oil. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, filling it based on the size of your iron (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Now, it’s time for the fun part! Top those waffles with your favorites: drizzle some okonomiyaki sauce, squirt on some mayonnaise, and sprinkle those bonito flakes and seaweed flakes on top.
