In a large bowl, mix the flour and dashi (or water) until smooth. Add the cabbage, green onions, eggs, shrimp, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil.
Spoon half of the batter into the pan and spread it out into a thick circle (like a pancake). Lay two slices of bacon over the top.
