Crispy Cabbage and Egg Fritters

Ingredients

• • 170g cabbage, shredded
  • 1/3 tsp salt (for marinating cabbage)

• • 15g green onion, chopped
  • 2 chili peppers (30g), chopped
  • 1 bowl of cooked rice

• • 1/5 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/5 tsp chili powder

• • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Cooking oil for frying

Directions

1. 1. Marinate Cabbage: Shred the cabbage and mix it with 1/3 tsp of salt. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
   2. Prepare Other Ingredients: While the cabbage is marinating, chop the green onion and chili peppers.
   3. Mix Ingredients: After 10 minutes, squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage. In a large bowl, combine the marinated cabbage, green onion, chopped chili, cooked rice, black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, chili powder, beaten eggs, and cornstarch. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

1. Form Fritters: Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Take a spoonful of the mixture and flatten it into a patty shape.
2. Fry Fritters: Place the patties in the skillet and fry until one side is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until golden brown and crispy as well. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving Suggestions

• • Ensure the cabbage is well-marinated and squeezed to avoid excess moisture, which can make the fritters soggy.
