👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Cabbage
Shred the cabbage finely. You can use:
- a knife
- a mandoline
- a food processor
Place in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let it sit 5 minutes, then squeeze lightly to remove excess moisture.
2️⃣ Make the Egg Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
- eggs
- garlic powder
- pepper
- optional cheese
- optional flour (helps crisp up the fritters)
3️⃣ Combine
Pour the egg mixture over the shredded cabbage (just like the photo).
Mix well until every strand is coated.
4️⃣ Fry Until Golden
Heat oil in a skillet.
Add spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture and flatten into small pancakes.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
🍽️ Serve With
- Greek yogurt
- sugar-free chili sauce
- plain vinegar
- avocado slices
