After you make this straightforward recipe for low carb okonomiyaki with a few ingredients, you’ll always want more.

Instructions

  1. Preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
  2. To make batter: add the softened butter, cream cheese, almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl and combine.
  3. Add the egg into the batter and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix the cabbage and optional shredded/grated cheese into the batter, being careful that all of the cabbage is thoroughly coated. Set aside.
  5. Cut bacon into square pieces and fry in preheated skillet. Once the bacon has crisped up on one side, flip it over. Arrange the bacon as a tight circle in the center of your skillet. Note: If substituting shrimp, fry the whole shrimp on preheated oil, cook both sides, and arrange in a circle on the skillet.
  6. Spread the okonomiyaki batter over the bacon or shrimp to form a pancake.
  7. Cover the pancake with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  8. Once ready to flip (making sure the pancake is browned on the bottom), use a spatula to loosen edges of the pancake for easy flipping.
  9. Cover the pan again once the pancake is flipped and allow to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate once the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through!
  10. Add optional toppings as desired.
