Okonomiyaki, originally a fast food from Osaka and Hiroshima has become so popular abroad that one has to try and find variants of the original recipes.
Here is a simple and healthy one:

-Thin pork slice (belly): 50 g
-Egg: 1
-Hon dashi/dashi stock soup powder (if unavailable, use bouillon powder): 10 g
-Salt & pepper: as appropriate
Sauce:
-Ponzu: as appropriate

RECIPE:
-Pres water out of tofu as much as you can. Break up the tofu in a large bowl with a spatula and stir until smooth.
-Cut cabbage leaves thinly.
-Add cabbage, flour , egg, hon dashi powder, salt and pepper.
Mix well.
-In a large enough frypan, fdry-ry the pork slices. There is enough fat in the pork, no need for oil! Spread pork slices evenly.
