  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Shred the cabbage finely. Chop the green onions if using, and mince the garlic.
  • Make the Batter:

    • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve and Enjoy:

    • Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve hot with soy sauce, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make It Extra Crispy: For extra crunch, press the pancakes down slightly while cooking and let them cook a bit longer on each side.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Swap all-purpose flour with chickpea or rice flour.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a teaspoon of hot sauce or chopped chili peppers to the batter for a spicier version.
  • Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best results.
  • Serving Suggestions: Enjoy with soy sauce, spicy mayo, or a light salad for a complete meal.
