Tonpeiyaki (Pork and Cabbage Omelette) とん平焼き

Tonpeiyaki at a Glance Tonpeiyaki is a soft, foldable omelette wrapped around pork belly and cabbage, finished with a drizzle of okonomi sauce, Japanese mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of aonori (green seaweed). Why You’ll Love It All the okonomiyaki flavor without the batter. The same pork, cabbage, and savory toppings go into a soft omelette instead of a dense pancake, and it’s ready in 30 minutes. A potato starch slurry stirred into the eggs is what makes this foldable. It’s the difference between an omelette that wraps cleanly and one that tears. Okonomi sauce, Kewpie mayo, and aonori finish it the way an Osaka okonomiyaki restaurant does. That topping trio is what separates tonpeiyaki from a plain omelette. Jump to Recipe My Recipe Story On the nights when dinner has to happen fast, this is what I reach for. I almost always have eggs and cabbage in the fridge and thin-sliced pork belly in the freezer, and tonpeiyaki turns those three into something that feels like a real meal. My family gets the okonomiyaki flavors they love without me standing over a griddle all evening. Honestly, I make this more often than I make okonomiyaki.
