This traditional Japanese sweet consists of two stacked fluffy and soft pancakes and in between a spoonful of sweet red beans paste. It\u2019s a very nourishing treat that many loves. There\u2019s also some variations, add a steamed chestnut in the fall, a ball of soft mochi, a macha filling and whatever can come to mind to make a sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like dorayaki, but I found them a little too nourishing. The other day though, I was thinking about a quick fix for lunch and got inspired by dorayaki. Except that instead of the red bean paste I prepared a savory and fresh mix of ricotta and cucumber. It worked sublimely, so I am please to share my original recipe with you. It\u2019s so super simple to make  I hope you\u2019ll enjoy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Savory summer dorayaki<\/strong> (2 pieces)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>150g of flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1tsp of baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 pinch of salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Milk or water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 Japanese cucumber <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100g of fresh ricotta <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Herbs you like: I used fresh basil I grow at home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a bowl, mix the flour, egg, baking powder and pinch of salt. Add milk or water little by little until obtaining a neither thick nor liquid dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cook 10cm diameter pancakes in a non sticky pan or a greased pan. It\u2019s ok to have one side slightly under cooked. You should make 4 pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, wash and slice finely the cucumber, mix with the ricotta, salt pepper and herbs chopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take two pancakes, on the less cooked side of one set a large spoonful of the ricotta mix. Top with the other pancake. And your all set!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6179\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-1400x1867.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_7232-1-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Close up at the filling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been to Japan or a Japanese grocery store, you probably came across a very popular sweet: dorayaki \u3069\u3089\u713c\u304d.
