Japanese Cabbage Pancakes (Okonomiyaki) Gluten Free

Japanese cabbage pancakes, called Okonomiyaki , are a popular dish in Japan, often nicknamed "Japanese pizza" because of their shape and variety of garnishes. Traditionally, this dish consists of grated cabbage mixed with a light dough, garnished with meat, seafood or vegetables, then cooked in the pan. In this gluten -free version, I use buckwheat flour (you can also use rice flour), while keeping the spirit of the dish. This recipe is fast and ideal for a family meal; You can customize it according to everyone's tastes.
