Okonomiyaki
with BBQ Sauce & Sesame Asparagus
Okonomiyaki is a savory Japanese pancake packed with cabbage and other veggies, meat, or seafood. The name comes from "okonomi", meaning "how you like", and "yaki", meaning "grilled". We think you'll like it, especially paired with a sweet, spiced BBQ sauce and sesame asparagus.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine flour, ¾ cup water, and a pinch of salt in large bowl and whisk until batter is thick. Stir in scallion whites, garlic, carrot, and cabbage. (4-serving meal: use 1½ cups water)
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spread just half the batter into ½-inch thick pancake and lower heat to medium-low. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to plate, sprinkle with salt, and repeat with remaining batter. Wipe skillet clean.
Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and asparagus and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a pinch of salt. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp vegetable oil)
Divide okonomiyaki between large plates and drizzle with mayo and BBQ sauce. Top with as much sriracha as you’d like. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve with sesame asparagus. Tuck in!
