Instructions

  1. Cut the cabbage into thin shreds and the pork belly into 1.3 cm pieces.
  2. Stir 1 tsp potato starch or cornstarch into 1 tsp water. Cut the eggs gently with chopsticks until they are just combined, without whisking air in. Add the starch mixture.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 10-inch pan over medium heat. Cook the pork for 2 to 3 minutes until no longer pink.
  4. Add the cabbage and the black pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until wilted and tender.
  5. Add the soy sauce and mirin and stir. Move the filling to a plate and wash the pan.
  6. Dry the pan, return it to medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. When it shimmers, pour in the egg and tilt to spread. Pop the bubbles with a chopstick and swirl to fill the holes. Cook until set on the bottom but still runny on top.
  7. Lower the heat to medium-low. Place the filling in a log down the centre of the omelette, about as long as the pan and 5 to 7.5 cm wide. Fold both sides over the filling.
  8. Slide the omelette to the edge, tip it onto a plate, and shape it into a rectangle with a paper towel and your hands.
  9. Drizzle with okonomiyaki sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise in a zigzag, then sprinkle with aonori. Serve immediately.
