Default OkeyDokeyYaki nice change from an omelet

Okonomiyaki ("as you like it") is the 'pizza' of Japan, a quick nutritious meal. This low-carb version is very similar to the traditional recipe,
substituting grated cauliflower for the usual grated yam.

This is delish, a lot like a potato pancake! Grams are estimated,
weigh veggies for precise carb counts. About 8-10 g. per LARGE serving.

For each serving, mix in a bowl:

1 1/2 c coarsely shredded white cabbage (4 g)
1/2 c grated raw cauliflower (2 g)
1 egg (.5 g)
2 T finely sliced green onion (.5 g)
1/8 c. Atkins Bake Mix (1.5 g)
add a little water to achieve a pancake batter consistency.

Mix in 'as you like it' any diced cooked leftover meat/fish such
as ham, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp.

Heat oil 1/4" deep in a frying pan, pour out about
a cup of the mixture to cook at a time, for nice plate-sized
servings. Cook over medium heat, brown and turn.
You want the veggies to cook and the cake to
be brown but not burnt. Add more oil as needed.

This is traditionally eaten with mayonnaise, sushi
ginger, seaweed and sesame sprinkles, dried bonito fish
flakes, and you can make a nice dipping sauce of soy,
rice vinegar, and a touch of sweetener. There is a trad
okonomiyaki sauce which is kind of chutney-ketchup-like but
it never appealed to me. Garlic mayo or ginger mayo
is very good with this. This is enjoyed casually at
fast-food restaurants or at home in Japan, just as pizza
is in the US--you can customize the meats and toppings
to anyone's taste.
