Del.icio.usChef Ken Maeda of Jinroku Restaurant in Waikiki visits us on the show this week to demonstrate the following dishes.
MIX OKONOMIYAKI
*4 shrimp (size 31/40)
* 4 slices calamari
* 4 thin slices pork belly
* 130 grams head cabbage (cut into small squares)
* 12 grams red ginger (benishoga)
* 10 grams spring onions (thinly sliced)
* 60 grams okonomiyaki batter (refer to instruction below)
*2 whole eggs (large)
* 10 grams tempura crumbs (tenkasu)
* tonkatsu sauce (garnish)
* mayonnaise (garnish)
* bonito flakes (garnish)
* powdered seaweed (garnish)
In a bowl, add cabbage, red ginger, spring onions, 1 egg and okonomiyaki batter and mix well (okonomiyaki mixture).
In a pan or on a teppan grill at medium-high heat (450F), stir-fry shrimp and calamari until light-brown in color.
In a pan or on teppan grill, pour down half of the okonomiyaki mixture, then shape into a circle with a 5-inch circumference.
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 it 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.
For Okonomiyaki Batter:
* 50 ml water
* 100 grams flour
* 70 grams yamaimo (Japanese yam or mountain potato)
* 1/4 tablespoon hondashi
Mix all ingredients in a bowl to make the okonomiyaki batter.

In a separate bowl, beat three eggs.
