Crispy Cabbage Pancakes

🥬 Ingredients

  • 3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2–3 tablespoons oil (for frying)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage:
    Finely shred the cabbage and place it in a large bowl. If the cabbage is very watery, sprinkle a little salt and let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. Mix the Batter:
    Add eggs, flour, cornstarch, green onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to the cabbage. Mix everything well until fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  3. Heat the Pan:
    Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Form the Pancakes:
    Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture into the pan and flatten gently with a spatula to form a pancake shape.
  5. Cook Until Crispy:
    Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil if needed for extra crunch.
  6. Serve Hot:
    Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt dip, or your favorite sauce.
