Okinomiaki (As you Like It)

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Well, just as I promised, here is the recipe for the Japanese Pancakes I discussed earlier!
The neat thing about this food is it's almost exactly like pizza in one way:
You can basically do ANYTHING to it! You just have to follow the rules when it comes to the batter:
4 cups of sliced cabbage (The thinner the slices the better)
1/2 cup of rice crispies
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup of flour
3/4 cups of water

You mix all of these things in a bowl, then comes the fun part! You add what-ever-your-heart-desires to it.
In the ones I made I added:
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
2 stalks of green onions, chopped
1 cup of crab meat
But you can make a fruit version and just have diced apples, and pears and pineapples, etc.
Or you can be all fancy American and put in beef or pork.
It's really all up to you! But I would advice adding salt to the batter, if you don't, it becomes quite plain and boring!
To cook your Okinomiaki, you simple scoop out the desired size of cake and flop it on a lightly oiled frying pan! You cook each side until golden-brown.
Enjoy!
