It’s a veggie pancake made from a tofu and flour batter, with cabbage and king oyster mushrooms. :3

    Hello, I’m from the Church of Hiroshima-fuu Okonomiyaki. Do you have a moment to talk about the One True Okonomiyaki?

    But seriously, what do you use for a dashi replacement? I’ve tried kelp dashi with mixed results among other weirder attempts to add depth to the batter.

      I was at my local Asian grocer looking for kelp dashi powder but couldn’t find any, so I ended up getting a vegan weipa (Chinese stock paste) instead. I haven’t made okonomiyaki in quite a while, so I don’t really have a good baseline to compare it to, but I thought it was pretty tasty.

      I suppose the best idea would probably be making kombu shiitake dashi from scratch, which really isn’t that much more work.

      Thanks! The hardest part of taking the cabbage pancake train is that it means you’re not taking the scallion pancake train, and making yachaejeon instead! 🤭
