Preparation
Mise en place
- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
- Peel and grate the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the bacon slices crosswise into thirds.
Prepare the batter
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 egg, ⅓ cup water (double both for 4 portions), the flour and S&P.
- Add the sweet potatoes, coleslaw mix, white bottoms of the scallions and ½ the mild furikake; gently fold until combined.
Prepare & cook the okonomiyaki
- Working in batches if necessary, spoon the batter to form 4 round pancakes (double for 4 portions) about ¾ inch thick.
- In a large pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium.
- Add the pancakes and top with the bacon slices, pressing lightly.
- Cook, 3 to 4 min. per side, until golden.
Make the furikake mayo
- In a second small bowl, combine the mayo, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and remaining mild furikake.
Plate your dish

- Garnish with the green tops of the scallions.
