Introduction

These Japanese vegetable pancakes are delicious and filling. The uncured bacon and japanese barbecue sauce can be hard to find - try an asian grocery. You can use regular bacon and bbq sauce in a pinch. These Japanese vegetable pancakes are delicious and filling.

Ingredients

    4 eggs
    2 T water
    3/4 c flour
    1 1/2 c shredded yam
    1 1/2 c shredded carrot
    1 c bean sprouts
    4 c shredded cabbage
    1 pack bean thread noodles, softened in boiling water
    10 strips of thin-sliced side pork (uncured bacon)
    Okonomi sauce
    Furikake

Directions

Mix eggs, water, and flour to make a smooth paste. Put noodles in a bowl with hot tap water until softened, about 4 minutes. Drain the noodles and snip them with scissors into the paste. Add the shredded veggies. Stir until everything is well coated by batter.

In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, fry 6 strips of bacon on one side until almost done. Flip, and group into three groups of 2, cover each group with batter and press down. Cook 4-5 minutes, until edges look cooked. Flip and cook 8 minutes more. Repeat with remaining 4 strips for 2 more pancakes. Serve with okonomi sauce (japanese barbecue sacue) and furikake (japanese seasoned sesame seeds and seaweed)

The name of these pancakes literally means "whatever you like, fried." Cabbage and carrots are staples, but feel free to put any veggies in that you like, leave off the bacon, use chopped seafood (especially shrimp) in the batter, or whatever else strikes your fancy.
