Okonomiyaki Savory Japanese Cabbage Pancake

You can find dashi powder, tenkasu, and the condiments for serving at your local Japanese market, or in the Asian foods section of the grocery store. Additionally, some markets carry special okonomiyaki flour, which includes flavorings and a little yam starch to give the pancake a spongier consistency; if you use this specialized flour, only add the water per the recipe below, and skip the dashi stock powder.
