Steps

1
Finely shred the cabbage and slice the scallions. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and dashi until you have a loose batter.
2
Fold in the cabbage and scallions. The mixture should look very cabbage-heavy and almost densely packed; that is exactly right.
3
Heat a little oil in a large skillet. Spoon in half the mixture to form a thick round, then lay slices of pork belly over the top.
4
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side over medium heat until the center is set and the outside is deeply golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5
Brush with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayo, then finish with aonori before serving.
