Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake made with flour, eggs, cabbage, and a variety of condiments. In this video, I will share with you how to substitute flour with oatmeal. Healthy yet satisfying 😉

- 15g (0.5oz.) chopped green onions

Directions:
1. In a large microwavable bowl, mix oats, Dashi powder, and water. Microwave at 600w for 1.5min.
