Description

These Crispy Cabbage Fritter Pancakes are golden brown, packed with flavor, and incredibly easy to make. A must-try for cabbage lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16-ounce finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1/2 onion, finely minced
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 5 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, plus more for garnish
  • Neutral oil, for a shallow fry
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Sriracha Sour Cream Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
 

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and Sriracha. Adjust the heat level to your liking. Reserve in fridge.
  2. Heat enough oil to medium in a non-stick pan for a shallow fry.
  3. Finely shred the cabbage on a mandoline, or use prepackaged angel hair cabbage (pick out the larger pieces).
  4. Add to a bowl, along with the remaining ingredients. Combine gently with your hands. Try not to overwork so the cabbage does not release water.
  5. Add the butter to the oil and allow to melt.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out a few tablespoons of the cabbage mixture and gently add to the heated oil. Flatten down with a fork or spatula to your desired thickness. Do this with more of the mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You will have to fry in batches.
  7. Once the bottom is golden brown, gently flip. Continue cooking until the cabbage pancakes are fully cooked, and golden brown.
  8. Drain excess grease on paper towels. Salt immediately out of the fry.
  9. Arrange on a platter. Garnish with more Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.
  10. Serve immediately with the Sriracha Sour Cream.
  11. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Use bagged, angel hair shredded cabbage, for ease. Remove any large pieces.
  • If shredding your own cabbage, do so very finely on a madoline.
  • Gently mix together the ingredients, so as not to release water from the cabbage.
  • Heat the oil just to medium. If the oil is too hot, the outside of the cabbage fritters will brown before the inside is fully-cooked.
  • Place a cookie scoopful of the mixture into the pan and press down to flatten. The flatter the cabbage pancake, the crispier. 
  • Drain the fritters on paper towels or a cooling rack. 
  • Salt immediately out of the fry.
