Okonomiyaki Fritters
Okonomiyaki is a popular Japanese street food loaded with cabbage, okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. These fritters are a twist to the traditional pancake style but still pack the same savory taste and hearty flavor!

8 oz (230g) nagaimo (mountain yam)

TOPPINGS
Scallions
Aonori (dried green seaweed flakes)
Okonomiyaki sauce
Mayonnaise
Instructions
Cut the cabbage, zucchini, mountain yam any way you like.
Boil the tofu skin for about 3 minutes to remove oil and drain. Cut the fried tofu skins into 1/2 inch squares.
Finely slice the carrots and drain any excess water from the red pickled ginger.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the sliced vegetables and fried tofu skin to the mixed bowl of dry ingredients (except the pickled ginger) and mix well.
Next, add the wet ingredients and mix well.
Heat oil in the frying pan and spread the combined mixture in a circle. When the bottom is nicely browned, flip over and cook both sides evenly. Add the pickled ginger towards the end as the color may bleed into the fritter.
Add okonomiyaki sauce, vegan mayonnaise, scallions or aonori.
