Incorporate 3 eggs into the mixture until well combined.

Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Pour a portion of the batter onto the griddle, forming a round pancake.

Layer diced bacon on top of the pancake.

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.

Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

Transfer the pancake to a plate and drizzle with okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese Kewpie mayo.

Sprinkle bonito flakes on top before serving.
