Okonomiyaki

Usually under $1 a pancake, and most of it is cabbage. Shredded cabbage is bound with flour and egg, fried until golden, then finished with a sweet-savory sauce and a zigzag of mayonnaise, so it eats like street food rather than a vegetable side. Add scallions and a little bacon or leftover pork if you have them. One head of cabbage stretches across several dinners, and these pancakes are the most fun way to use it.
