Main Ingredients
- 1/4 medium cabbage (approx. 200-250g)
- 2-3 large eggs
Seasoning
- 2 pinches of salt (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 pinches of salt (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cabbage thoroughly. Then, thinly shred it into fine strands, about 0.5cm thick. Shredding it thinly helps it cook faster and more evenly. Rinse the shredded cabbage lightly under cold running water to reduce any slightly bitter taste and enhance its crispiness. Drain the cabbage well in a colander.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the drained shredded cabbage, 2-3 fresh eggs, 2 pinches of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Mix everything together until the cabbage is evenly coated with the egg mixture. You can adjust the number of eggs based on your preference; more eggs will result in a softer pancake.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Swirl the pan to ensure the oil coats the entire surface. Using enough oil will help prevent the pancake from sticking and ensure it turns a beautiful golden brown.
Step 4
Once the pan is sufficiently hot, ladle portions of the cabbage mixture onto the pan, shaping them into round pancakes. Try to keep them relatively thin, about 1cm thick, as thicker pancakes may take longer to cook through. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 7-10 minutes. You’ll know it’s cooking when you hear a gentle sizzling sound.
Step 5
Check if the bottom side is golden brown and slightly crisp. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula or chopsticks. Cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 6
Once both sides are beautifully golden brown and cooked through, your delicious cabbage pancakes are ready! You’ll be greeted by a wonderful aroma.
Step 7
And there you have it – a healthy and delicious cabbage pancake made with just cabbage and eggs, without any flour! It boasts the natural sweetness and nutty flavor of cabbage, and its flourless nature makes it an excellent diet-friendly dish with fewer calories.
Step 8
This is a fantastic recipe for using up leftover cabbage, and its simplicity makes it perfect for a quick meal anytime. With plenty of egg content, it’s quite filling. Serve it as a side dish with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat! It’s best enjoyed fresh and warm.
