Japanese Okonomiyaki Pancakes

Okonomiyaki is a very popular Japanese cabbage pancake from Hiroshima and Osaka. It is fried and then smothered in a lip-smacking okonomiyaki sauce, then drizzled with mayonnaise and sprinkled with dried tuna flakes. I’ve tweaked the recipe a little bit by using ingredients that are easy to find in Luxembourg. This is now my favourite recipe to make use of any kind of cabbage – savoy and pointy green cabbage work particularly well.

This was made with a large ‘imperfect’ savoy cabbage which was in my Onperfekt box. Onperfekt are fighting food waste by giving wonky veggies and fruits a second chance. To do this, they set up a shop in in Marnach, selling imperfect produce, and they’ve launched a weekly wonky veg box service. Every Friday, the Onperfekt website publishes a list of all the fresh 100% local vegetables they’ve rescued. And you can then order your box until Sunday. You can opt for a subscription of 6 or 12 boxes, and decide when you want to get them (regularly or from time to time). I have partnered up with Onperfekt to create a series of delicious recipes with imperfect vegetables.
