Method
Finely shred the cabbage and slice the spring onions.
Whisk the plain flour and dashi stock together in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in the eggs.
Fold the cabbage and half the spring onion into the batter until every strand is coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, spoon in the batter to form a thick round, and scatter the prawns and squid over the top.
Cook for 6 minutes until the underside is golden, then flip carefully and press down gently.
Cook for a further 6 minutes until the prawns turn pink, the squid turns opaque and everything is cooked through.
Slide onto a plate and brush generously with tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise.
Scatter with bonito flakes, nori flakes, pickled ginger and the remaining spring onion to serve.
