4. A handful of bean sprouts (fill approx. 1 small bowl) (optional)

5. 1/4 tsp salt
6. 1/4 tsp sugar
7. 1/4 tsp mirin (optional)
8. ½ cup Tenkasu (Agedama) (Tempura scraps) (optional)
9. 1 tsp cooking oil

Optional filling:
1 sliced bacon, a handful prawn, salmon, octopus, squid or thinly-sliced pork belly

Garnish:
1. Japanese Okonomiyaki sauce *
2. Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie)
3. Japanese Bonito fish flakes (Katsuobushi)
4. Japanese dried green seaweed (Aonori seaweed)

* If you don't have this, you can make your own. Here is the recipe from Little Japan Mama:

2 Tbsp Barbecue sauce

Directions:

1. Mix dashi powder with water.

2. Add egg, flour, salt and sugar and mix well until it is smooth and there are no lumps.

3. Stir in cabbage, onions, spring onions, bean sprouts.

4. Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat (no. 7 on my stove). Pour the mixture into the pan, cover and fry for 2 minutes.

5. If using raw meat, on a separate pan, fry meat for pancake with a little oil.

6. When pancake turns golden, add cooked meat or sliced bacon on top.

7. Flip over and cover and cook for 1 min.

8. Dish out onto a dish.

9. Heat pan with a little oil and fry an egg to the shape of a pancake.

10. Add back the pancake on top of the egg.
