Ingredients

Cabbage Pancakes:

4 cups green cabbage finely shredded
3/4 tsp salt added to the cabbage to let it sweat
2 carrots shredded
1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs whisked
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/4 salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4-1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil for frying

Greek Yogurt Garlic Dip:

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced
1 tbsp green onions finely chopped
1/4 tsp onion powder
pinch salt
1/8 tsp pinch black pepper

Instructions

Thinly shred the cabbage into fine strips using a box grater. A mandoline also works well if you have one.
Place the shredded cabbage in a colander, then set the colander inside a large bowl. Toss the cabbage with ¾ teaspoon salt.
Set aside for 10–15 minutes to draw out excess moisture while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Shred the carrots using a box grater then chop the green onions. Set both aside.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In another small bowl, whisk the eggs.
Using clean hands, firmly squeeze as much liquid as possible from the cabbage. This helps keep the fritters crispy rather than soggy.
Transfer the squeezed cabbage to a clean large bowl. Add the carrots, green onions, seasoning mixture, soy sauce, sesame oil, whisked eggs, and flour.
Gently mix until everything is evenly combined.
Before adding the eggs and flour, you can taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Heat the vegetable or canola oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once hot, spoon in about 2 tablespoons of the cabbage mixture per fritter and gently flatten to no more than a 1/4" thick.
These fritters taste best when they’re thin and crispy, so spread the mixture into wider, flatter rounds rather than thick patties.
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Work in batches as needed, adding more oil between batches (if required) and allowing it to heat up before continuing.
Makes about 15 fritters.
Transfer the fritters to a wire rack and gently blot any excess oil with paper towel. Season with flaky salt.
Let cool for 5 minutes while you prepare the dipping sauce.
Combine all Greek yogurt garlic dip ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well, then taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
