#'''okonomiyake sauce''' Mix the sauce ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the the boil and heat very gently for 2 minutes.  Allow to cool
#'''pancakes''' Shred the cabbage finely, e.g. using a mandoline. Slice the spring onion finely. Chop the pickled ginger finely. Beat the eggs into the batter and add the cabbage, spring onion and ginger.  Mix well
#'''cook pancakes''' Heat an iron griddle, or large frying pan, on medium heat until hot - not as hot as for omelettes. Put a little vegetable oil in the pan. Spoon the cabbage pancake mixture onto the hot surface making a pancake or pancakes about just over 1 cm thick. Cook till a nice brown crust has formed underneath and then flip over for the same the other side.
#'''serve''' Serve the pancakes drizzled with the mayonaise and okonomiyaki sauce. Pile on the chosen garnishes.
