Ingredients

• 400 grams green cabbage
• 1 medium-sized carrot
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 large eggs
• 80 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves, washing it, and dicing it into small, thin pieces. Place the cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

2. Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

3. Finely chop the scallions and mix them into the cabbage and carrots.

Step 4

4. In a separate small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly.

Step 5

5. Add the whisked eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the large mixing bowl with the vegetables. Stir everything together until well combined and the mixture holds together.

Step 6

6. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 7

7. Using your hands or a spoon, scoop a portion of the cabbage mixture (about 2-3 tablespoons) and flatten it into a small patty shape. Place it into the skillet. Repeat, leaving space between each patty in the pan.

Step 8

8. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning. Add more oil as needed for subsequent batches.

Step 9

9. Remove the cooked cabbage cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

10. Serve the cabbage cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
