Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Whisk eggs, water, flour, soy sauce, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; set batter aside.
Step 2
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 3
Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir onion into batter. Add cabbage to the same pan; cook until slightly wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir cabbage into batter.
Step 4
Cook ¼ cup bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until starting to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes; arrange in a small circle in middle of the skillet. Add 1 cup batter to the skillet on top bacon; 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.
