High-Protein Tofu Okonomiyaki

Ingredients

• 4 oz Silken tofu (Mushed before adding to the batter)
• 5 oz Argentine red shrimp (Raw, finely chopped)
• 2 cup Green cabbage (Finely shredded)
• 3 Eggs (Cracked and whisked)
• 1 tbsp Light Kewpie mayonnaise (For topping)
• 1 tbsp Okonomiyaki sauce (For topping)
• 2 tbsp Dried bonito flakes (For topping)
• 1 second spray Spray oil (To coat the pan)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely shred the green cabbage. Finely chop the raw shrimp into small, evenly sized pieces so it cooks through quickly.

2. 2

   Crack the three eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

3. 3

   Add the shredded cabbage, mushed silken tofu, and chopped shrimp to the whisked eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the egg, shrimp, tofu, and cabbage mixture becomes well combined and slightly foamy.

4. 4

   Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with the spray oil. Heat the pan over medium-low heat until the oil is warm but not smoking.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to spread it into one even, circular pancake, keeping it compact enough to flip without breaking.

6. 6

   Cook over medium-low heat until the underside begins to crisp and turns golden brown and the pancake is sufficiently set to flip, about 4–5 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed so the outside browns without burning before the shrimp and eggs cook through.

7. 7

   Carefully flip the pancake once. Continue cooking until the second side is golden brown and crisp and the center is fully set, about 3–5 minutes more.

8. 8

   Transfer the crisp pancake to a plate. Drizzle or spread the okonomiyaki sauce over the top, add the light Kewpie mayonnaise, and finish with the dried bonito flakes. Serve immediately.
