Cauliflower Okonomiyaki is a delightful twist on the traditional Japanese savory pancake, combining the goodness of cauliflower with a medley of fresh vegetables and umami flavors. This low-carb version is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect guilt-free meal.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 250 grams (riced)
• Egg - 2 large
• Green onion - 2 stalks (finely chopped)
• Carrot - 50 grams (grated)
• Cabbage - 100 grams (finely shredded)
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cooking oil - for frying
• Okonomiyaki sauce - for drizzling
• Mayonnaise - for drizzling
• Nori (seaweed) - for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. Begin by preheating a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and adding a small amount of cooking oil.
2. In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, chopped green onion, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the vegetable mixture. Stir until the eggs are fully combined with the vegetables.
4. Scoop half of the mixture into the preheated pan, forming a round pancake about 1.5 cm thick. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
5. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, until golden and cooked through.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture to make a second pancake.
7. Once both pancakes are cooked, drizzle with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. Garnish with nori if desired and serve hot.
