Steps:
- Whisk mayonnaise, Sriracha and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Combine cabbage, zucchini, carrot and scallion whites in a large bowl. Sprinkle with rice flour and salt and toss to coat. Beat eggs in a small bowl, then pour over the vegetables and stir until evenly combined.
- Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the vegetable mixture, pressing gently on the top and sides with a spatula to shape it into a large pancake. Cook until a golden crust forms on the bottom and edges, 6 to 9 minutes. (Reduce heat, if necessary, to prevent burning.) To flip, carefully place a large plate or inverted rimless baking sheet over the pan and quickly invert. Slide the pancake back into the pan, browned-side now facing up. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender and the bottom is golden, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Slide the okonomiyaki onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the reserved mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion greens.

OKONOMIYAKI
These savory Japanese pancakes filled with cabbage are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. True to its name, you can play with the ingredients (okonomiyaki means "as you like it, grilled" in Japanese). The batter for Kansei/Osaka-style okonomiyaki is commonly supplemented with pork, but shrimp (see Cook's Note), squid, bacon and ham are also tasty options. Or, leave out the protein altogether. And for a little extra texture, stir some tenkasu (tempura bits) into the batter. Grated mountain yam often adds a starchy component to the batter but we've opted for easier-to-find potato starch instead. Okonomiyaki is generally prepared in large rounds, but the scaled-down size here is much easier to manage in a skillet, especially when topped with pork belly slices. Feel free to do as you like, though!

Steps:
- Whisk together the eggs, dashi and salt in a large bowl. Add the flour, potato starch and baking powder and whisk until just incorporated -- avoid overmixing; some lumps are okay. Add the cabbage and scallions and gently fold into the batter.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Spoon in about 1/2 cup of the batter. Use a spatula to very lightly pat down the surface and to form a round about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch high. Repeat until the skillet is full, but not overcrowded.
- Top each round with 2 pieces of pork belly, overlapping them slightly. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the rounds over, keeping the pork belly in place as much as possible and reducing the heat slightly if the pork belly browns too quickly, and cook until the pork belly has rendered its fat and the okonomiyaki are cooked through and golden brown, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to plates and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, batter and pork belly, leaving behind any liquid that's settled at the bottom of the batter. (If your pork is very fatty, you might not need to add more oil to the skillet.)
- Serve hot, pork-side-up. Drizzle with okonomi sauce and mayonnaise in zigzag lines, then sprinkle with beni shoga, aonori and/or katsuobushi (if using).
- Combine the kombu and 3 cups cold water in a medium saucepan and let sit for about 30 minutes. (You can skip this step if you're short on time, but it does lend a little extra flavor.) Heat over medium heat until the water comes to a near boil, but doesn't actually boil, about 5 minutes. Discard the kombu.
- Add the katsuobushi evenly over the water, bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately remove from the heat. Let steep for about 10 minutes without stirring.
- Pour the dashi through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or quart-size measuring cup. Do not press down on the katsuobushi, which can make the dashi cloudy and/or bitter.
- Dashi is best used the day it is made but can be cooled and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Makes about 2 1/2 cups
JAPANESE VEGETABLE PANCAKES (OKONOMIYAKI)
My Japanese friend served these up one day and they were just amazing. The kids gobbled them up, and I even found myself making them as a "on the go" food for the kids, minus the sauce. A great way to get some veggies in. Feel free to add other stuff to the mix, such as cooked shrimp, bacon, pork or noodles. The amounts are guesses since I'm a bit of a dump cook. If you are not going to cook it all immediately, you may need to add some extra flour or drain the additional liquid that the salt pulls from the cabbage.

Steps:
- While oil is heating over medium high heat, make vegetable mixture. In a large mixing bowl, mix all the vegetables, eggs, flour, soy sauce, bonito and dashi.
- When oil is hot drop vegetable mixture into pan flatening it into a small pancake shape. This needs to be no thicker than 1/3 of an inch so that it has time to cook through. Fit as many as you can in your pan without overcrowding or dropping the temperature too much. Once browned on one side, flip and brown the other side. Remove to drain on a paper towel.
- For the sauce, mix the mayo, ketchup and worcestershire sauce together and then drizzle over the hot pancakes. Top with the dried seaweed and serve.
OKONOMI YAKI (VEGGIE PANCAKES)
These patties may remind you of Tempura but are really quite different. Serve them with a nice spicy sauce or with soy sauce. Some like to put butter on them. It depends on your meal or if you are eating them as a snack. They are very tasty. The number of srvings will depend on how you are using them. They make excellent appetizers if you make tiny pancakes
