• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk eggs, water, flour, soy sauce, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; set batter aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir into batter. Add cabbage to the same pan; cook until slightly wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir into batter.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook soba noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and cut noodles into shorter pieces; stir into batter.

Step 4

Cook 1/4 cup bacon a skillet over medium-high heat until starting to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes; arrange in a small circle in middle of skillet. Add 1 cup batter; cook until brown and crispy, flipping pancake halfway and pressing down with a spatula, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bacon and batter.
