Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 170 g shredded cabbage
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt for marinating cabbage
  • 15 g chopped green onion
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Toss the shredded cabbage with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cabbage, green onion, cooked rice, egg, flour, garlic, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and flatten them into small patties.
  4. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or rice flour to the batter.
  • If you want a milder version, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce like spicy mayo, garlic yogurt sauce, or soy dipping sauce.
  • Leftover fritters can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
