Instructions
- Mix the barbecue sauce ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Mix the mayonnaise sauce ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

- Finely chop the cabbage and spring onion. Grate the carrot and squeeze the extra water with your hands.
- Add the chopped vegetables to the mixture and mix. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a skillet and spread the oil throughout the pan with the help of a brush.
- When the pan is hot, place the okonomiyaki mixture in the pan so that it is 1 cm thick and smooth the edges.
- Cook over low heat, like a classic pancake. After the bottom is cooked, place the dried meat on top and turn it over.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 3–4 minutes.
- When the okonomiyaki is fully cooked, place it on a serving plate. Serve with barbecue sauce and mayonnaise sauce. Enjoy your meal.
