This flourless, low-carb Okonomiyaki is a huge hit! Even if you aren't a big fan of tofu, you’ll love the fluffy texture—it doesn't taste like tofu at all. It’s packed with protein, making it perfect for health-conscious eaters and even picky toddlers.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation
Wrap the tofu in two layers of paper towels and place it on a microwaveable plate. Microwave uncovered at 600w for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture. Change the paper towels, place a plate on top of the tofu, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. (If you're short on time, you can skip this step.)
- 1
Shred the cabbage and put it in a bowl, then add the drained silken tofu, egg, dashi granules, and potato starch and mix well.

- 2
Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the mixture and shape it into a large pancake. Grill both sides until golden brown.

- 3
Arrange on a plate and top with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. Add katsuobushi flakes and aonori (green seaweed) as desired.

This was a nice variation on the "full-fat" version of okonmiyaki. It is light and tasty but might not be quite substantial enough for a meal. I added pork belly as Akiho suggested and served it as a side dish, with sushi as the main meal. Quick and easy to prepare, too.

My focus is on protein-rich recipes, prioritizing the essential nutrients our bodies need. As a mom to a son who can be a picky eater, I also create "picky-eater friendly" recipes that make trying new foods fun and easy!
