The pancakes I could eat every night of the week! | Easy Sweet Potato Okonomiyaki - Marion's Kitchen

fluffy savory Japanese pancakes slathered with barbecue sauce and Tamayo this is my version of Japanese sweet potato okonomiyaki [Music] okay so pancakes for dinner that is definitely in my jam and I find that these ones are great the next day in lunch boxes you can take them on picnics they're just good any time of the day really Oh breakfast with eggs that's also good are so many uses anyway let's get down to it this is okonomiyaki you might have had it in a Japanese restaurant looks very difficult to make it's not really simple let's do our pancake batter first we want some plain flour and some baking powder and a decent pinch of salt here just give that a whisk now for the wet ingredients I've got some vegetable stock here some eggs and some soy sauce and we just want to smooth butter here [Music] now the thing I love about this recipe is that it's pretty much like a choose-your-own-adventure I'm going with a vegetarian option today so I'm using sweet potato and cabbage you can easily add in some seafood or different vegetables it's really versatile if you're using sweet potato like I am just want to grate it Horsham add that into your butter mix and then some cabbage I'm using some Chinese cabbage here or napa cabbage and you want a fair chunk of it you're going to think that this is too much cabbage and if you think it's too much then it's just the right amount and then some finely sliced spring onion and now just mix all of that together and what you're looking for here is basically like a big bowl of vegetables that seems to have just a little bit of butter holding it all together that way you know you've got the ratios right and now we're ready to cook and usually I'm all about the fast high heat because I'm doing a lot of what cooking I would the exact opposite for this one I want things to cook nice and slowly I don't want the outside to Brown too quickly because I need that potato to cook all the way through so we want a nice gentle heat here some oil and a nonstick pan will definitely be your friend here and you just want to take a cup full of that mixture and scoop it out into your oil let's work fast here and use your spoon to kind of bring the edges into a nice neat circle so here how we've just got the barest whisper of a sizzle that's what you want now just leave this guy to do its thing about two minutes on this side two or three minutes on the other side and then you should have a pancake that's beautiful golden and cooked it all the way through look at that beautiful golden color such a pretty little pancake so my friend here is looking incredibly delicious ready to go now I just like to train these on some paper towel and get rid of some of that excess oil then I just leave them there sometimes I put them in the oven to keep warm as well while I finish off the other two [Music] now the serving up here is not just about style or plating it is totally about adding more flavor so don't skip this step now grab your pancake pop it onto a plate and now my little condiment so I've got what I call Japanese barbecue sauce which is from Tatsu sauce and some Japanese mayonnaise here so just want to keep himself a beautiful drizzle of the tonkatsu sauce now I am terrible at icing cakes but great at drizzling things of mayonnaise do your best with the piping here is where it's worth it just for that so satisfying doing that kind of Mayo drizzle now the other thing I have here is Japanese furikake and that is a rice seasoning so it's like a little sprinkle of things like nori seaweed drop this one's got dried egg dried bonito flakes but you could just use a little bit of seaweed or even just some sesame seeds up to you good sprinkling of that all of these things adding little layers of flavor and then finally a little bit of spring and there you go Japanese Okinawa Archy pancakes for dinner mmm yes now if you're gonna have this for dinner you could serve it with some Japanese rice on the side or a salad plenty of options there or just dig in on its own [Music] see what I mean about how you've got a huge amount of filling in there just that a little bit of the pancake batter that holds everything together now that is a good okonomiyaki in my book tastes really good too structurally sound and delicious just put you 1 out of a pancake if you've got any comments or questions pop them below and if you enjoyed the video why not hit that subscribe button press the little bell 1 and that way you'll get notified every time I release a new video thanks guys [Music]
