In Japanese, the word ‘okonomi’ translates to ‘how you like’. So after a few attempts, we’ve whipped up a completely vegan take on Okonomyaki - just how we like it. A simple base of cabbage, rice flour and kimchi forms the perfect canvas for this savoury fritter. We’ve snuck in plant-based cheddar for added gooeyness - but that’s up to you. Full of flavour and ready in a flash - check out the recipe below.
