Here's an easy and foolproof recipe for Tonpei-yaki, a classic izakaya (Japanese pub) dish. Pork and cabbage are wrapped in egg and finished with sauce and mayonnaise for an exquisite taste. The key is to stir-fry quickly over high heat. Try making this at home!

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork slices 70g
  • Eggs 2
  • Cabbage 1/4 head

Seasonings

  • Hon Dashi (Japanese soup stock) 1/2 tbsp
  • Okonomiyaki Sauce
  • Mayonnaise
  • Aonori (Dried Green Seaweed)
  • Bonito Flakes
  • Salt a pinch

Steps

  1. Remove the core from 1/4 head of cabbage.
  2. Tear the cabbage into easy-to-cut pieces by hand.
  3. Shred the torn cabbage. (Key Tip! If shredding is bothersome, a slicer works too. Be careful, as coarsely chopped cabbage won't cook through easily and can become watery.)
  4. Stir-fry 70g of pork slices in a heated frying pan.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the pork.
  6. Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the frying pan.
  7. Stir-fry the shredded cabbage in a lightly oiled frying pan.
  8. Add 1/2 tbsp of Hon Dashi to the cabbage and stir-fry briefly. (Key Tip! Don't overcook, or the cabbage will become limp. Stir-fry quickly over high heat.)
  9. Remove the cabbage from the frying pan before it wilts too much.
  10. Warm the frying pan over low heat.
  11. Pour in 2 beaten eggs to make a thin omelet.
  12. The thin omelet is ready when it's cooked through.
  13. Spread out plastic wrap and place the slightly cooled thin omelet on top.
  14. Arrange the stir-fried pork over the thin omelet.
  15. Place the stir-fried cabbage on top of the pork.
  16. Using the plastic wrap, roll the thin omelet with the fillings into an omelet shape.
  17. Carefully transfer the rolled Tonpei-yaki to a plate, ensuring it doesn't lose its shape.
  18. Generously drizzle Okonomiyaki Sauce over the Tonpei-yaki.
  19. Drizzle plenty of Mayonnaise on top.
  20. Sprinkle with Aonori.
  21. Generously top with Bonito Flakes to finish. It's ready!
