Critical Success Points

  • Squeezing out excess moisture from the shredded cabbage
  • Using sparkling water to lighten the batter
  • Flipping the heavy pancake safely
  • Adding okonomiyaki sauce at the end to avoid burning the sugars

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Raw prawns must be cooked through; ensure the interior reaches 63 °C.
  • Handle raw eggs with clean hands to avoid salmonella.
  • Use a sturdy spatula and keep fingers clear when flipping the pancake.
