Vegan Tofu Japanese Savoury Pancake (Vegan Okonomiyaki)
This vegan version of Okonomiyaki (Japanese savoury vegetable pancake) is so easy to make, and so healthy because it has lots of cabbagge, green onion, and tofu which is substitute for egg so you can get protein by eating healthy vegan food.
Equipment
- 1 bowl
- 1 Frying pan
Ingredients
- 200 g Medium firm Tofu or Silken Tofu
- 50-100 ml Water 50ml for silken tofu
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 100 g Plain Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 200 g Cabbage chopped into small pieces
- 50 g Green Onion optional
- some Oil
For the Sauce
- some Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
- some Vegan Mayonneise
- some Green Onion
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash your tofu with a fork until smooth and add water and soy sauce.
- Add the flour and baking powder in the bowl and whisk together, then add chopped cabbage and combine them all.
- If you like some colour in your pancake, add chopped green onion to the batter and fold until all vegetables are coated with the batter.
- Heat a frying pan to mediun high, pour some oil and put half of the batter in the middle of the pan. Flatten the batter with a spatula or something to about 1 cm.
- Wait until the edges of your pancake become golden and crispy. It will take about 5-8 minutes, then flip it over and fry it for another 3-5 minutes. Rotate your panceke occasionally to make it evenly fried.
- Transfer the pancake onto a plate and spread some vegan Worcestershire sauce on top, then drizzle some vegan mayonnaise.
- Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onion to make it look presentable. Immediately serve while it's warm. Enjoy!If you want to make your okonomiyaki more traditional, sprinkle some dried green sea weed on top.
Notes
- I wouldn't recommend using firn tofu for this recipe because it can't be smooth as silken tofu or medium firm tofu.
- If you don't like to use cabbage in your Okonomiyaki, you can use other vegetables like onions, leeks, broccoli, and carrots.
- If you like some spiciness in your okonomiyaki, drizzling some sriracha sauce on top instead of Worcestershire sauce would be great.
