savory cabbage pancake

Recently when I was craving snackfood and it seemed like there was nothing to make in the house, I thought of okonomiyaki, a savory Japanese pancake that our friend Ken-ichi makes. I made a batter with whole wheat flour, water, egg, salt, pepper, and anise seed. I then mixed in lots of chopped cabbage, parsley, and onion till the mixture looked more like cole slaw or a salad dressed with cake batter. I poured a large amount into an oiled skillet and browned the cake on both sides. It's served with a pool of crema, olive oil, and a spinkle of pimenton.
