For this nontraditional okonomiyaki recipe, you need to julienne the potato. Use a mandoline with the shredder attachment, or slice it very thinly into planks and then crosswise into very thin strips. Makes a terrific appetizer!
Ingredients
Serves 8
Step 1
Combine brussels sprouts, sweet potato, scallion, and egg in a large bowl; season with salt. Mix with your hands until vegetables are evenly coated. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and toss to combine (mixture shouldn’t be gummy, but a handful should clump together).
Step 2
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add half of vegetable mixture; press into a thin even layer across bottom of skillet. Cook until pancake begins to set, about 1 minute. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. oil around edge and shake to ensure pancake can slide around; cook until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes longer. Slide pancake onto a baking sheet or the underside of a flat pot lid, then invert pancake back into skillet. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. oil around edge of pancake and cook until second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining vegetable mixture and 3 Tbsp. oil to make another pancake. Serve topped with Sriracha, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and furikake.

Back to TopNeeded double the flour and eggs to make it stick together, but it was super yum when it finally came together. I would highly recommend making some Okonomiyaki sauce to go along with it and buying some bonito flakes

We have had this twice, love it. We added another egg and more flour, to help keep it together. We also used more sprouts, since we had them. We just used the Sriracha with some veganaisse/mayo for the sauce, and it worked fine for us. Its amazing how tasty it is with very few ingredients. A new favorite!

Needed a second egg as well. But overall, a really unique and delicious dish.

I found it needed another egg and almost twice the flour to hold together, but flavor was great. I'd use more brussel sprouts & scallions next time. Unless you are a wizard with a knife, just grate the sweet potatos or they won't cook through. I threw lots of cilantro on top.
