Egg and Vegetable Pancake
A thin Japanese-style okonomiyaki pancake made with lean ground pork, cabbage, scallion and egg, pan-seared in minimal oil. Topped with a light drizzle of hoisin sauce and mayonnaise, then scattered with sesame seeds for umami-rich comfort with far less fat than traditional versions.
