To make the okonomiyaki mixture, combine cabbage, red ginger, spring onions, one egg and okonomiyaki batter in a bowl and mix well.

In a pan or teppan grill over medium-high heat (450F), stir-fry shrimp and calamari until light brown in color.

Pour half the okonomiyaki mixture into a pan or teppan grill, then shape into a circle with the circumference of 5 inches.

Place shrimp and calamari on top of the okonomiyaki mixture created in the step above, cover that with the rest of the okonomiyaki mixture, then place pork on top along with tenkasu.

Flip okonomiyaki and poke three holes through the okonomiyaki for the steam to vent.

cook on each side for about 10 minutes or until brown in color.

Garnish with an over-easy egg, tonkatsu sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes and powdered seaweed.
