MIX THE BATTER
In a bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and the gochujang (to taste). Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Add the spring onion whites, the Cabbage, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.
FRYING FRENZY
Place a pan over medium-low heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add all [½]|#7DA0D7 of the Cabbage batter and spread it out across the pan in an even thickness of about 0.5cm. Fry until set and golden brown, 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batter if necessary.
STICKY Pork BELLY
Return the pan over medium-high heat. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the pork until crispy and golden brown, 8-10 minutes per side (the pork will cook in its own fat). In the final 3-5 minutes, baste with the pork belly sauce, the orange juice, and 15ml [30ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Remove from the pan, reserving any rendered fat, and rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing and seasoning.
MOUTH-WATERING DINNER!
Plate up the okonomiyaki pancake. Drizzle over the hoisin-gochujang sauce (to taste). Top with the sticky Pork belly (and any remaining sticky sauce) and the pickled ginger. Sprinkle over the spring onion greens and the coriander. Side with the mayo for dunking.
