A few years ago when I first went to university, I vowed to lose weight by eating in such a way that was healthy, satiating, convenient and cheap. I began a journey that was half typical university student (convenience foods and odd combinations of instant foods) and half passionate foodie (finding random boutique groceries). Please enjoy my blog :)
Okay, so I was nearly out of calories for the day, but I was famished and needed something. And even though I had cabbage, I couldn't deal with having it on its own. The only solution was to cook the cabbage and drench it in low fat mayonnaise (my drench is your sprinkling. But in all honesty, you don't really need much sauce for the moistness of the cooked cabbage to carry the flavour through the whole thing). This was about 100 calories.
Okonomiyaki, otherwise known as "Japanese omelette," or "Japanese pizza" is basically an omelette that contains flour and cabbage and has various toppings ("anything you like") as well as the kewpie style mayonnaise that is so common on top of Japanese dishes and a special "okonomiyaki style sauce," or bulldog sauce. Or XO sauce. I'm not sure what. In any case, my aim was to create my own low carb version. I made a cabbage omelette which I topped with low fat mayonnaise and a mixture of BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. The textures are definitely different to the original, but I'm hoping the flavours are similar.
