Japanese Sweet Potato Okonomiyaki

Being a big fan of sweet potato, I just couldn't wait to try out this Japanese recipe.  Indeed, it is a yummy and healthy dish.  I am sharing this recipe with all fans of sweet potato and all who loves Japanese food.

Ingredients: (makes 2 medium-sized pancakes)

1/2 cup plain flour (sifted)

1/4 tsp. baking powder (sifted)

3 tbsp. water

1/2 tsp. chicken stock granules

1 1/2 eggs

1/2 tbsp. light soy sauce

1 cup Chinese cabbage/Napa (shredded)

50g. orange sweet potato (peeled, coarsely grated)

1 tbsp. spring onion (finely sliced), plus extra for sprinkle

2 tbsp. cooking oil

To serve: 

Tonkatsu Sauce

Kewpie Mayonnaise

Black Sesame Seeds (toasted)

Methods:

1. In a large bowl add plain flour, baking powder and chicken stock granules and whisk to combine.  Add the eggs, water and light soy sauce and whisk until smooth.  Add the cabbage, sweet potato and spring onions and mix until well combined.
2. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.  Add half of the batter into the pan and use a spoon to shape into a thick round pancake.  Cook until the underside is golden.  Flip the pancake over and cook until cooked through and golden.  Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.  Repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
3. To serve, drizzle with tonkatsu sauce follow by mayonnaise and sprinkle with black sesame seeds and spring onions.
